"Butterscotch"
Circus

U can take me 2 the prom
Promise not 2 tell yer mom
Mama never tells U why,
while she kicks U in the eye
I don't think she understands
I just wanna hold yer hand
I don't even own a car so we
couldn't get that far
Father Markus said 2 me, "just confess
and you'll B free
Sit U down upon my lap tell me yer sins,
just like that"
He said "baby know the rules
Yer living in a Catholic school
All the teachers say yer fine, but they don't have dirty minds"
I am only in my teens
I live only 4 my dreams
I cannot B made 2 stay
Life's a journey anyway
Life's a journey anyway
Teacher, teacher please make me well
I don't want to go to hell
Teacher, teacher what can I do?
I don't know boy, it's up 2 you
It's time to free yer mind, it's time
to cleanse you soul 
It's time to free yer mind, it's time
to cleanse you soul
Yo Father forgive me for I have sinned
I'd rather talk to God but He's out and yer in
It's a little complicated, but father
don't sweat it
U can hear me out or you can just forget it
Now I haven't been to church
in about ten years
And one time I had to pull
my little sister's ears
But I'm not really violent and it shows
I go for flower power as that stupid song goes


Sometimes I tell a lie, but only when it's true
And I often say things like shit and fuck U
And I like to read a lot of dirty comic books
And I've given dirty teachers
a lot of dirty looks
But this is the last thing that I'm ever gonna say: "It's embarassing 4 me 2 talk 2 U this way
Before I forget and before I carry on, I stole a table napkin from a fancy restaurant
Now please father tell me tell me
what I gotta to do
I am full of guilt and now it's up 2 U
Now please father tell me tell me
what I gotta to do
I am full of guilt and now it's up 2 U
Just say 10 Hail Marys, 71 Glory Bes
13 Our Fathers, and a hundred Amens
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
U can take me 2 the prom
Promise not 2 tell yer mom
Mama never tells U why,
while she kicks U in the eye
I don't think she understands
I just wanne hold yer hand
I don't even own a car so we
couldn't get that far
I am only in my teens
I live only 4 my dreams
I cannot B made 2 stay
Life's a journey anyway
I am only in my teens
I live only 4 my dreams
I cannot B made 2 stay
Life's a journey anyway
Life's a journey anyway
