lyrics

CAUGHT RELIGION OFF A TOILET SEAT

The high-speed head-band and the bassline killer
My English teeth got caught in vanilla
The pink elephant in this midnight room
Is life in a Southern town out of the tomb
Like a politician found dead in a lay by
With an orange in his mouth and a sentence to flyby
Had a big heart or so they say
But perhaps it was enlarged from day to day?
Like in that film Memento
I think I found you
But my memory wavers

I caught religion off a toilet seat
I caught religion off a toilet seat

Robbie the Robot and Metal Mickey
Are tugging at your shirtsleeves
Asking the time please
Mad world on a tin whistle
Jesus shopped at Aldi
And I shop down the market place
Another pritt stick sticks bits to my paper
I'll be cutting words and bins till December
Driving the classroom insane
With empty promises for the future heading down the drain

I caught religion off a toilet seat
I caught religion off a toilet seat

Here's a creation myth it-and-see
In the beginning there was nothing
But you and me
And the Silicon Teens

I need spiritual guidance
I need some providence
I need proper answers
And I need more total silence

Grab a hold of yourself
And get on with your massive life
I caught religion off a toilet seat
I caught religion off a toilet seat
The walls and the boundaries begin to blur
The marked distinctions fade and whir
And then disappear completely
The spiraling hills and low slung valleys
Shake off their manacles and their shackles
And we see how the land truly lies
I quit religion and closed the door
I quit religion and settled the score
