Lyrics   status: unconfirmed

Gather round right now
And hear me whisper
The words of the prison
The words of laughter
The lords and the ladies
Were fixing their hair-dos
Kissing the lovers
Kissing the bible

Hallowed be my name
Yelling at fathers
Screaming at mothers
Hallowed be my name

Come all you sinners
Come now in your glory
And my ears will listen
To your dirty stories
You're planning to go up
Cuz you're on your way down
Kissing the lovers
Kissing the bible

Hallowed be my name
Yelling at fathers
Screaming at mothers
Hallowed be thy name

Sons and their daughters
Have taken your money
The queens are out dancing
But now they're not funny
There goes one walkin'
Away with your sonny
Kissing the lovers
Kissing a bible

Hallowed be my name
Yelling at fathers
Screaming at mothers
Hallowed be thy name

NOTES:

  • Originally performed by Alice Cooper (as "Hallowed Be My Name").
  • Recorded in late '85 in NYC by Wharton Tiers, along with Come And Smash Me..., Magic Wand, and an early version of Expressway. These four songs were given to John Peel to broadcast as a Peel Session on May 19th, 1986.
  • Performed live only once, and not very well (Thurston makes a remark about how they'll never play it again...).
