^AmA monk with a hard-on, And ^Ama lavender robe That s^Dmcratches his thighs, ^EThrough the hat that he strode ^AmAs he follows a path, ^AmFilled with every desire And ^Dmmimics his footsteps, ^EAnd sets his prayers on ^Amfire.

^AmWell I too have chosen, T^Amhat which left no choice To ^Dmsing without loving,^EA solitary voice, ^AmTo observe with passion, ^AmEach careful denial The ^Dmprotrusions which give my life ^Emeaning for a while. ^Am

^ASometimes I see you in ^Dmberries and weeds You're ^Cbrushing your teeth with ^Fliquorice seeds ^FStanding too close, ^A#Pulling your clothes, ^ESmiling at God And the meaning of life grows.

^AmNo and I'll never tell, A^Amnd I'll never know What ^Dmcandles you light, A^Efter the show ^AmAnd I'll never tell, ^AmAnd I'll never ask The ^Dmmeaning of life ^Eafter mass.
