Alcoholic Priest
It's past 4:05
The priest is in the back---is he dead or alive?
I heard the doc pumped his guts out
This is his first gig and he just struck out
He knocked back his favorite: a tonic and gin
Thirteen more and he's as stiff as a pin
Lying on the marble floor submerged in dirt
And everyone still wonders why he's so damn curt
Still doesn't know who he is, what he wants to become
All he knows is this present feeling, and it's really kind of numb
