Lyrics

VACATION
Musica e testo di John Kruth
Oh, the sun was too much for the nuns
they started to swoon, they started to sway
beside the bus, they knelt down to pray
outside the station, on their summer vacation
They were miles from home, headed for Rome
when one had a vision of Saint Sebastian
his chest pierced with arrows, pushing a wheel barrow
overflowing with water, as the bishop’s daughter
Bathed in the nude, covered with tattoos
when just then the tire became a wheel of fire
It burst into flame, as she cried the lord’s name
oh, holy Jesus when will you release us
from sin and temptation and the sick imagination
of that old demon Satan, who in the form of a fly
Landed on the pie that the mayor was eating
he soon began sneezing, he choked and turned blue
what could his wife do? She just watched him die
she cried and she cried as the devil’s laughter
Rang from the rafters, grew louder and louder
when the sound of the motor suddenly awoke her
a cold sticky sweat clung to the sister’s neck
as a little reminder that death walks beside her
With each step she takes, so it’s time that she makes
peace with Sebastian and enjoys her vacation
