I slept through Easter yesterday

Right through Christmas just the same

The priest came up to me, all up in arms

He said, "Devil boy, what have you done?"

Hey, devil boy

We're gonna blow your house in

Hey devil boy

What do you think of that?

For heaven's sakes

It's only been two thousand years

I can't wait

Any longer for you

The Jesuits rolled in their tanks to my front door

While the Capuchins held a love-in on my front porch

The Augustinians kept to themselves, they stuck their tongues out in a row

They said, "Devil boy, it's off to hell you go"

Hey, devil boy

We're gonna blow your house in

Hey, devil boy

What do you think of that?

For heaven's sakes

It's only been two thousand years

I can't wait

Any longer for you

For heaven's sakes

It's only been two thousand years

And I can't wait

Any longer for you

And so I'll sit and pray for her to call me there

And I'll burn that bridge a thousand times, on the cross I bear

Just to wonder if you're listening from the soapbox in the sky

To finally realize my price, was it you or I?

Hey, devil boy

We're gonna blow your house in

Hey, devil boy

What do you think of that?

For heaven's sakes

It's only been two thousand years

I can't wait

Any longer for you

For heaven's sakes

I'd give away eternity

If you would come back to me

If you would come back to me

If you would come back to me

If you would come back to me
