Harmless Sparks

[Verse 1]

They might have burned

But the priests were all taking turns

Showing nuns what they had discerned

About their bodies in the dark

[Verse 2]

They carried on

From the evening until the dawn

Like they should have been all along

Making harmless sparks

Instead of breaking little boys' hearts

[Chorus]

God knows

If you notice the millions of small holes

And ponder the weight of an apple

Compared to the trouble we’re in

Then a grown man might

Be tempted to question his birthright

In front of his kids and devout wife

Causing the doubt to begin

To spread like original sin
