How I Left the Ministry Lyrics

there was one thing I found that I couldn't help thinking
as they pried me free with the jaws of life
none of this disaster would ever have happened
if I had not been driving my neighbor's wife
to the alta loma day's inn where I'd registered us as
a couple with a name I'm sure some other couple somewhere has
and the last thing I saw before falling unconscious
was your right hand tracing a heart on my thigh
and I thought my god what an infantile gesture
and I thought my god what an indescribable high

the autumn air was sweeter than a slice of wedding cake
as I overshot the exit and I tried and failed to find the brake
