lyrics

LYRICS:

Oh why didn't you read the book of numbers? -
you could've been before a priest with your offering.
And if you drank that bitter water he had
it wouldn't taste like you'd been had,
unless your belly swelled away.

And then the product of your guilt might be a girl.
You and your lie could hide a while inside a girl.

Oh why didn't you look? - the book of spells you could've cooked - a tub of gin and a dirty look.
And if you drank that holy water he had
it wouldn't taste like you'd been bad -
you'd be in, you'd be forgiven.

And to lose the man was half the plan for you.
To lose your way and not look back
so you could find yourself along the track
without the girl inside the heart attack of you.

And then the girl you lose you lose with,
with all the will to keep her there with,
with all the will to keep her there with you.

Oh why didn't you hear? –
the book could've saved you all those years –
saved your soul and a scar-less body.
If you'd not drank that bit of wine that he had,
it wouldn't be half as bad -
you'd have a cave instead of a vex.

And to lose the man was half the plan for you.
To lose your way and not look back
so you could find yourself along the track
without the girl inside the heart attack of you.
