Saint Augustine In Hell

If somebody up there likes me
If somebody up there cares
Deliver me from evil
Save me from these wicked snares
Not into temptation, not to cliffs of fall
On to revelation, and lessons for us all

She walked into the room
On the arm of my best friend
I knew whatever happened
Our friendship would end
Chemical reaction, desire at first sight
Mystical attraction, turned out all my lights

The minute I saw her face
The second I caught her eye
The minute I touched the flame
I knew it would never die

The minute I saw her face
The second I caught her eye
The minute I touched the flame
I knew it would never die

Don't know if it's pain
Or pleasure that I seek
My flesh was all too willing
My spirit guide was weak
I was deadly certain

His thoughts for me weren't kind
A switch-blade in his pocket
Murder on his mind
Blessed St. Theresa the whore of Babylon
Madonna and my mother all rolled into one
You've got to understand me
I'm not a piece of wood
Francis of Assisi
Could never be this good

The minute I saw her face
The second I caught her eye
The minute I touched the flame
I knew it would never die

The minute I saw her face
The second I caught her eye
The minute I touched the flame
I knew it would never die

Relax, have a cigar, make yourself at home
Hell is full of high court judges, failed saints
We've got Cardinals, Archbishops, barristers
Certified accountants, music critics
They're all here, you're not alone
You're never alone, not here you're not
OK break's over

The minute I saw her face
The second I caught her eye
The minute I touched the flame
I knew it would never die

The minute I saw her face
The second I caught her eye
The minute I touched the flame
I knew it would never die
