The Fatima Mansions - 13th Century Boy lyrics

rate me

Let the dark ages begin...now!

You don't live the way you should

You're not chaste or wise or good

Oh no, when you're human

I wait for you, my queen

I keep myself ready clean like my maker--against nature

I needn't worry about all the wars out there

The price of fish and all the ineffective hygiene

CHORUS:

You are the reason why I've reached perfection

You are the reason why I try to tend this fertile void

I'm a 13th century boy

These are heroic times

so thumb your nose at years gone by

Be hardened...we're a legend

Now love keeps the country green

I know because I've seen the pictures

in this week's scriptures

All I know is that I feel you coming near

All you need know is that your [prophet elector] is waiting--CHORUS

You are the reason why I live forever

You are the reason why I learned to love the void

Oh, I'm a 13th century boy

Oh, I'm a New Dark Ages boy

I'm a 13th century boy
