lyrics

Hoo, Ha. Hoo, Ha. Hoo, Ha. Hoo, Ha. (Continues in the background)

In the limelight, you are full of sin. Every bible verse sinks under your skin.
New children are waiting for someone to appreciate them.
Your world views start to narrow as the populous waits for a hero to save them from hell.

My Clementine.

She ain't no Virgin Mary, but that beautiful little girl has got me shaking at the heels.
I'm not looking to love you, but when you give me kisses on the cheek,
you make my knees feel so weak.

Yeah, yeah. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, Hey.

There is no God. There's only science.
And Jesus would be proud of you if you believed in science too,
but they'll nail you to the cross.
There is no science. There's only God. And if you decide to procreate,
you'll go to hell, that's where you'll bake for eternity for all of your sins.

Maybe you'll feel like me? Like a fish out of water.
Maybe you'll feel like me? I'm trying not to drown.

Found a fish out of water. I put it back in. I watched it swim away, away. I watched it swim.
Found a fish out of water. I put it back in. I watched it swim away, away. I watched it swim.
I watched it swim away. I watched it swim away.

In the limelight. Burn. In the limelight. Burn.
There'll be a moment when you realize in your mind,
that every doorstep that you step onto is another goodbye.
There'll be a moment when you figure out in your head,
that once the holy water dries up it's all rotten and dead.
All rotten and dead. Don't take their youth. (What is the truth?)

Pow, pow, pow, pow.

Read the book, appreciate. Your world views start to narrow as the population waits for a hero.

Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ.

Let us proclaim the mystery of faith.

In the limelight. In the limelight I'll wait for my Clementine.
