Baby Biblethumper

Baby Biblethumper had a good, stout christian heart
Jesus was his saviour and
the father ruled his behavior
Baby Biblethumper was a catholic from the start
the crucifix on the wall
watched him rise, watched him fall

Baby Biblethumper tried to push us on our way
the bread and the wine
the god both yours and mine
Baby Biblethumper over cement every day
tried to convert those
damned athiest assholes

Baby Biblethumper said he could exorcise demons
from the catholic schoolgirls
and their ribbons and curls
Baby Biblethumper sed we were too dirty to touch him
as he walked away alone
and the scene was so...wrong

Baby Biblethumper tried to kill himself that night
you can't live off an empty cup
pretend faith was not enough
Baby Biblethumper came up alright but
forty thousand milligrams
killed part of that man

Baby Biblethumper on his knees in the mud
tears cascading down his face
confirmation came too late
Baby Biblethumper slowly looks up
at me, looking down
as I pick him up off of the ground

Baby Biblethumper went to the church last Sunday
the priests walked about
as Baby walked out
Baby Biblethumper reads his bible every day
and tears out a page
but it's all in a demon's rage

oh the demons; oh the real ones
that chase after you, you and me
and also Baby oh...
oh the demons unlike the ones
the priest talks about

and we oughta know: Baby and I
we who claw demons we claw them
out of our eyes
we rip them off bare legs and arms
or bleed them out and wear
the razor's scar

yeah we oughta know: Baby and I
there is no heaven
no heaven for those who cry
we oughta know, we oughta know
there's nowhere to go

Baby Biblethumper ended rather tragicly
Baby Biblethumper unlike the man he tried to be
was found hanging in a closet
with the skeletons he ran from...

Baby Biblethumper left a note for me
it hurts me to have read
the last words that he bled
Baby Biblethumper died before he was to see
that he was so beautiful
a summerland angel

Baby Biblethumper on his knees in the mud
watch him cry
can't you feel his soul die?
Baby Biblethumper slowly looks up
from this phantasmagoria
as he kicks away the last of his demons
and then fell
and then fell
like a summerland angel

What does it mean?  What does it mean?
What does it mean when we die for our dreams?
