Devil Boy

I slept through Easter yesterday
And right through Christmas just the same
The priest came up to me all up in arms
He said "Devil boy, what have you done?"

Heya, you devil boy
We're gonna blow your house in
Heya, you devil boy
What do you think of that?

For heaven sakes
It's only been two thousand years
And I can't wait any longer for you

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
They stuck their tongues out in a row
They said, "Devil boy, it's off to hell you go"

Heya, you devil boy
We're gonna blow your house in
Heya, you devil boy
What do you think of that?

For heaven sakes
It's only been two thousand years
And I can't wait any longer for you
For heaven sakes
It's only been two thousand years
And I can't wait any longer for you

So I'd sit and pray for her to call me there
And I burned that bridge a thousand times
On the cross I bear
Just to wonder if you're listening
From a soapbox in the sky
To finally realize my pride
Was it you or I?

Heya, you devil boy
We're gonna blow your house in
Heya, you devil boy
What do you think of that?

For heaven sakes
It's only been two thousand years
And I can't wait any longer for you
For heaven sakes
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
