Lyrics   status: confirmed

Talkin' to a punker priest
Just doggin' the breeze
Bout bein' in a tree
 (he says they're free now)
Along comes Mary Christ
Skatin' light on ice
Says "let's go on high"
 (later, priestoid)

Gotta go, I got a date now
Yeah I know, shall not be late now

Possessed by X-ray eyes
Her spirits spies
Into my lie
 (let's burn em out now)
Wraps my head in skin
Says now I'm in
Dig the candy sin
 (yeh spit it out now)

Every time she sings that low song
Every time I know she's right/wrong

Angel in a devil skirt
Buys me a shirt
Says I hope you like
 (like what now)
Hope, I hope you like
Like you like yr hope
Walk the tightest rope
 (i see, i know now)

Here we go, been waiting so long
Yeah I know, for Mary to come along

Talkin' to a punker priest
Just doggin' the breeze
Bout bein' in a tree
 (he says they're free now)
Along comes Mary Christ
Skatin' light on ice
Says "let's go on high"
 (later, priestoid)

Gotta go, I got a date now
Yeah I know, shall not be late now

Possessed by X-ray eyes
Her spirits spies
Into my lies
 (let's burn em out now)
Angel in a devil skirt
Buys me a shirt
Says I hope you like
 (yeh spit it out now)

Here we go, been waitin' so long
Yeah I know, for Mary to come along

NOTES:

• Working title: "Animals"
• About a girl Thurston used to go ice skating with, according to a 1990 live performance.
• There's a little snippet of the Kool Thing riff at the end of this song. In the music video (directed by Steve Shelley!), the band is shown watching the Kool Thing video on a television.
