(I Was Tainted and) It Felt So Right

I sprang to being in the street today

Of all the places I should reanimate!

The other passers-by just looked the other way

And I had nothing good to say

So then I melted down the sewer grates

Disfigured posterchild of the Second Estate

Lord of abandoned cigarettes and cellophane

I found my kingdom waiting there

And in that thick and fetid air

I saw my end and man it felt so right

I felt like I was in the air that night

Like all my little sins were justified

Out of sight

I passed my judgement by divine decree:

Defiled the souls of the petite bourgeoisie,

Pissed on the sidewalks of all residential streets

And called my Trinity complete

God save the blessed obsolete

I saved myself because it felt so right

I felt like I was in the right that night

Like I was infinite and impolite

Out of sight

And then it hit me like a blinding light

Sprung from the ether in the still of the night

Illuminating darkened corners of my mind

I felt the spark of the divine

I heard the Word and it was mine

Man, I was tainted and it felt so right

It felt like I was in the air that night

Like I was sapient and sanctified

Like I was waiting for it all my life

I was tainted and it felt so right

I felt so hated and undignified

Like I was penitent and thrice-denied

Like I was meaninglessly crucified

I was tainted and it felt so right
