Eraserheads - Butterscotch lyrics
You can take me to the prom Promise not to tell your mom Mama never tells you why But she kicks you in the eye I don't think she understands I just wanna hold your hand I don't even hold a car so we couldn't get that far Father Marcus said to me Just confess and you'll be free Sit you down upon my my lap Tell me your sins just like that You said baby know the rule Gotta go to Catholic school All the teacher says you're fine When you're down with dirty minds I am only in my teens I live only for my dreams I know I can't make you stay Life is journey anyway Teacher, teacher please make me well I don't want to go to hell Teacher, teacher what can I do I don't know boy It's up to you Its' time to free your mind It's time to cleanse your soul It's time to free your mind It's time to cleans you're soul Yo Father! Forgive me for I have sinned I'd rather talk to God but he's out and you're in It's a little complicated but Father don't sweat it You can hear me out and you can just forget it Now I haven't been to church in about ten years One time, I have to pull my little sister's ear But I'm not really violent and it shows I go flower power as the stupid song goes Sometimes I tell a lie but only when its true I often say the words like sh** and f** you I like to read a lot of dirty comic books and I give my teacher a lot of dirty looks But this is the last thing (Tell me Father, Tell me Father) Before I carry on I stole a table napkin from a fancy restaurant (Tell me Father, Tell me Father) [3x] I am full of guilt and now it's up to you Hey! Just say ten Hail Mary's Twenty-one Glory be's Thirteen Our Father's And a hundred Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Aww! You can take me to the prom Promise not to tell your mom Mama never tells you why But she kicks you in the eye I don't think she understands I just wanna hold your hand I don't even hold a car so we couldn't get that far I am only in my teens I live only for my dreams I know I can't make you stay Life is journey anyway I am only in my teens I live only for my dreams I know I can't make you stay Life is journey anyway Life is journey anyway Life is journey anyway hey
