Cause

Cause I lost my job two weeks before Christmas
 ♪
 And I talked to Jesus at the sewer
 And the Pope said it was none of his God-damned business
 ♪
 While the rain drank champagne
 My Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted
 ♪
 Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got is the one I've never tasted
 
 Oh but they'll take their bonus pay to Molly McDonald,
 Neon ladies, beauty is that which obeys, is bought or borrowed
 ♪
 Cause my heart's become a crooked hotel full of rumours
 ♪
 But it's I who pays the rent for these fingered-face out-of-tuners
 ♪
 And I make 16 solid half hour friendships every evening
 ♪
 Cause your queen of hearts who is half a stone
 And likes to laugh alone is always threatening you with leaving
 
 Oh but they play those token games on Willy Thompson
 
 And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs. Annie Johnson
 ♪
 Cause they told me everybody's got to pay their dues
 And I explained that I had overpaid them
 ♪
 So overdued I went to the company store
 And the clerk there said that they had just been invaded
 
 So I set sail in a teardrop and escaped beneath the doorsill
 ♪
 Cause the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still
 ♪
 Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun
 In weekends of whiskey sours
 ♪
 Cause how many times can you wake up in this comic book and plant flowers?
