Bad Science

For 20 years I've held this pulpit Preached the word, served the Eucharists Gained the trust of the townsfolk Made every football game, never missed a social Last week a boy I taught theology Came back in town with a new ideology Those feelings I tucked away Threaten the sanctuary A lifetime of burning culminated in one innocent forbidden touch I know this is wrong Cause I'm taught this is wrong

A new recruit, 25 years old He joined the habit with a chip on his shoulder Some nights he'd proclaim his preference But only flat back drunk on a bottle of Jameson One of those nights we stayed up, the two of us (?), just the two of us We were hiding in the dark I fell asleep by his side We woke to the chimes of the bells in the steeple, and ran off to separate rooms They can't know what we've done Our whole world would come undone

You'll never live this down You'll never live this down You'll never live this down You'll never live this down

They're gonna find you out And when they find you out They're gonna drag you out from under (?)

I know this is wrong Cause we're told this is wrong A lifetime of burning culminated in one innocent forbidden touch I know this is wrong Cause we're told this is wrong
