For 20 years I’ve held this pulpit
Preached the word, served the Eucharist
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 threading the sanctuary

A lifetime of burning culminated in one innocent forbidden touch
I know this is wrong cuz I’m told 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
Only flat back drunk on a bottle of Jamison

When all those nights we stayed up the two of us
Singing our lives just the two of us
We were hiding in the dark
I fell asleep by his side

We woke to the chimes and the bells of 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 [repeat x15]
They’re gonna find you out
And when they find you out
They’re gonna drap you out
Don’t let them find you

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