Bad Sects

For 20 years I've held this pulpit

Preached the word, served the Eucharists

Gained the trust of the townsfolk

Made every football game, never missed a social

Last week a boy I taught theology

Came back in town with a new ideology

Those feelings I tucked away

Threaten the sanctuary

A lifetime of burning culminated in one innocent forbidden touch

I know this is wrong

Cause I'm taught this is wrong

A new recruit, 25 years old

He joined the habit with a chip on his shoulder

Some nights he'd proclaim his preference

But only flat back drunk on a bottle of Jameson

One of those nights we stayed up, the two of us

Singing our lives, just the two of us

We were hiding in the dark

I fell asleep by his side

We woke to the chimes of the bells in the steeple, and ran off to separate rooms

They can't know what we've done

Our whole world would come undone

You'll never live this down

You'll never live this down

You'll never live this down

You'll never live this down

They're gonna find you out

And when they find you out

They're gonna drag you out! Don't let them find you!

I know this is wrong

Cause we're told this is wrong

A lifetime of burning culminated in one innocent forbidden touch

I know this is wrong

Cause we're told this is wrong
