The Extra Lens - How I Left the Ministry lyrics

rate me

There was one thing

I found that I couldn't help thinking

As they pried me

Free with the jaws of life

None of this dis-

Aster would ever have happened

If I had not

Been driving my neighbor's wife

To the Alta Loma Day's Inn

Where I'd registered us as

A couple with a name I'm sure

Some other couple somewhere has

And the last thing

I saw before falling unconscious

Was your right hand

Tracing a heart on my thigh

And I thought "My

God, what an infantile gesture,"

And I thought "My God, what

An indescribable high."

The autumn air was sweeter

than a slice of wedding cake

As I overshot the exit

And I tried and failed to find the brake...
