Lyrics:

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?"

Hey devil boy,

We're going to blow your house in

Hey devil boy, what do you think of that?

For Heaven's sakes

It's only been two thousand years

I can't wait any longer for you

The Jesuits rolled in their tanks to my front door

While the Capuchins held in loving 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"

Hey devil boy,

We're going to blow your house in

Hey devil boy

What do you think of that?

For Heaven's sakes,

It's only been two thousand years

I can't wait any longer for you

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

And I'll burn that bridge a thousand times on the cross I bear

Just to wonder if you're listening from the soapbox in the sky

To finally realize my price was it you or I?

Hey devil boy,

We're gonna blow your house in

Hey devil boy,

What do you think of that?

For Heaven's sakes

It's only been two-thousand years

I can't wait any longer for you

For Heaven's sakes

I gave 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

So great hearing these guys again. I saw them at Wetlands in NYC and remember the American standard CD and how much I loved their sound. Great song!

For a three year period in my life in the 90s this album was my daily sound track to my misbegotten life. not so much the memories as the feelings that are engendered and recalled...

I love this album so much so good to revisit it at age 44 seems like yesterday when we hung out in the hot Tucson nights listening to it, drinking beers, smoking pot and wishing it would never end.
