Lyrics

Genuflect, show respect, don't forget it's a papal command
Take your seat, all you need is your rosary beads in your hand
Time to start, cross your heart, be a part of the mystical band
Look at everybody trying to find their own place
Looking for a heaven up high
Working just to get into a state of grace
We know we're gonna need it when we die
Say your prayers, feel your fears
Shed your tears, you're afraid of hell's fire
As you sit there and pray you'll get carried away by the choir
And the incense is sweet, takes you right off your feet
Makes you higher
Look at everybody trying to find their own place
Looking for a heaven up high
Working just to get into a state of grace
We know we're gonna need it when we die
Look at everybody trying to find their own place
Looking for a heaven up high
Working just to get into a state of grace
We know we're gonna need it when we die
Written by: Gerry Rafferty, Joe Egan
