An Ode to Various Institutions Growing Old Disgracefully. Heresy! Heresy!

lyrics

The Organist!
Built His Life on an Early Sunday Morning,
The Organist!
Held His Candles Under the Seventh Awning.

Hiding in the Catacombs, Breeding Rats in the Attic,
Well I Seen a Snake Crawl up the Sacred Staff of St. Patrick.

PRAISE BE
(Praise Be, Drop Your Phantoms on a Pedestal)
PRAISE BE
(Praise Be, Keep Your Liturgy in the Vestal)

The Organist!
Works Scientific Fingers Throughout Hero Worship,
The Organist!
Keeps his "Healing Touch" a Distance from this Past Schtick.

I Remember the Days When the Keys Weren't Plastic,
Now They're Held Together by a Jaundiced, Ageing Mastic.

PRAISE BE
(Praise Be, Drop Your Phantoms on a Pedestal)
PRAISE BE
(Praise Be, Keep Your Liturgy in the Vestal)

Oh I Have Heard it Said, "There's Nothing Pleasant about Dying in Bed."
Oh The Grim Reaper is a Tease, "I Pique his Veil Every Time I Loose a Sneeze".

Then....

Just When Things Seem to Have Settled,
They hand Lighters to The Kids of Heavy Metal.

PRAISE BE
(Praise Be, Drop Your Phantoms on a Pedestal)
PRAISE BE
(Praise Be, Keep Your Liturgy in the Vestal)

TAKE ME TO CHURCH!
