lyrics
SAINT VITUS
got a gin on his finger,
sin in his eye.
got a quirk in his nature,
and a serious side.
got the breath of a cherub
born on the fourth of July.
he's going to dance for you tonight,
under a mackerel sky.
tonight tonight
tune into his heavy line on ecstasy.
(heavy line)
hold that heavy hymn.
burning,
burning,
burning like a sin, ST VITUS,
burning.
he's got the heart of a hornet,
the head of a beer.
he's got a smooth way of talking -
brilliantine.
*
get up and burn down,
unholy whore.
brother gin, your heavy line is discipline.
(heavy line)
hold that heavy hymn.
*
for you, tonight,
I touch down.
for you, tonight,
I touch down.
