Verse

Play with Rhy. Fig. 1

0:09- 0:42

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?"

Pre-chorus

0:43- 0:59

Hey devil boy

We're gonna to blow you're house in

hey devil boy

what do you think of that?

Chorus

1:00- 1:16

for heaven's sake

it's only been 2000 years

and I can't wait any

longer for you

Verse

Play with Rhy. Fig. 1

1:26- 1:58

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, stuck their tongues out in a row

 they said, "devil boy, it's off to Hell you go!"

Pre-chorus

1:59- 2:16

Hey devil boy

We're gonna to blow you're house in

hey devil boy

what do you think of that?

Chorus

2:17- 2:32

for heaven's sake

it's only been 2000 years

and I can't wait any

longer for you

Verse

Play with Rhy. Fig. 1

2:42- 3:15

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

 and I'll burn that bridge a 1000 times, on the cross I bear

 just to wonder if you're listening from a soap box in the sky

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

Pre-chorus

3:16- 3:31

Hey devil boy

We're gonna to blow you're house in

hey devil boy

what do you think of that?

Chorus

3:32- end

for heaven's sake

it's only been 2000 years

and I can't wait any

longer for you

for heaven's sake

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
