Antony & The Johnsons - Virgin Mary lyrics

rate me

Joseph he was a macho man

I tried to make him understand

Even I am a human being -

Not some kind of virginal machine

That night we walked in through the door

He told me he was cold and tired

Then he pushed me to the floor

And once again our love expired

But I'm not gonna cry

I'm gonna bite my tongue and try

To dream of immaculate conception

Angels in the sky taught me how to fly

They sing about immaculate conception

No no no no no

No no no no no no

No no no no no

No no no no no no

He screamed: You name's Mary, mild and demure

From your thighs a baby I'll procure

Your name's Mary, mild and demure

From your thighs a baby I'll procure

Your name's Mary, mild and demure

From your thighs a baby I'll procure

Your name's Mary, mild and demure

From your thighs a baby I'll procure

Immaculate conception

All I wanna do is fly away from you

I just wanna get away from you

Now my Joseph was asleep

I decided to take flight

I called a man with donkey

And fled with my baby into the dark night

I said my name's Mary, mild and demure

From my thighs a baby God's procured

I said my name's Mary, mild and demure

From my thighs a baby God's procured

And I heard him on the horizon: MARY!

And I felt him in my parlour: Mary

And I swore I saw him in the leaves

And I swore I saw him in the leaves
