Seven Mary Three Devil Boy Lyrics

I slept through Easter, yesterday
Right through Christmas, just the same
The priest came up to me, all up in arms
He said, "Devil boy, what have you done?"

Hey, devil boy
We're going to blow your house in
Hey devil boy, what do you think of that?

For heaven's sakes
It's only been two thousand years
I can't wait any longer for you

The Jesuits rolled in their tanks, to my front door
While the Capuchins held in loving, on my front porch
The Augustinians kept to themselves, stuck their tongues out in a row
They said, "Devil boy, it's off to hell you go!"

Hey, devil boy
We're going to blow your house in
Hey, devil boy
What do you think of that?

For heaven's sakes It's only been two thousand years
I can't wait, any longer for you

And so I'll sit and pray, for her to call me there
And I'll burn that bridge a thousand times, on the cross I bear
Just to wonder if you're listening, from the soapbox in the sky
To finally realize my price was it you or I?

Hey, devil boy,
We're going to blow your house in
Hey, devil boy
What do you think of that?

For heaven's sakes
It's only been two thousand years
I can't wait any longer, for you

For heaven's sakes
I'd give away eternity
If you would come back to me
If you would come back to me
If you would come back to me
If you would come back to me
