[00:00:31] Cause I lost my job two weeks before Christmas

[00:00:44] And I talked to Jesus at the sewer

[00:00:49] And the Pope said it was none of his God-d**ned business

[00:00:57] While the rain drank champagne

[00:01:02] My Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted

[00:01:10] Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got is the one I've never tasted

[00:01:22] Oh but they'll take their bonus pay to Molly McDonald

[00:01:37] Neon ladies beauty is that which obeys is bought or borrowed

[00:01:54] Cause my heart's become a crooked hotel full of rumours

[00:02:07] But it's I who pays the rent for these fingered-face out-of-tuners

[00:02:20] And I make 16 solid half hour friendships every evening

[00:02:33] Cause your queen of hearts who is half a stone

[00:02:36] And likes to laugh alone is always threatening you with leaving

[00:02:45] Oh but they play those token games on Willy Thompson

[00:03:00] And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs Annie Johnson

[00:03:18] Cause they told me everybody's got to pay their dues

[00:03:23] And I explained that I had overpaid them

[00:03:31] So overdued I went to the company store

[00:03:36] And the clerk there said that they had just been invaded

[00:03:43] So I set sail in a teardrop and escaped beneath the doorsill

[00:03:56] Cause the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still

[00:04:22] Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun

[00:04:27] In weekends of whiskey sours

[00:04:35] Cause how many times can you wake up in this comic book and plant flowers
