| Hail Mary, Full of Grace Who needs a God? We've got a marble Mary. Who needs a Christ? We've got an ivory virgin. Who needs a savior? We've got a porcelain figure. Who needs a God? We've got a nite-lite Mary. Hail the mortal virgin, blessed is her image! Hail the mortal Mary, who takes away our sins. Holy is this ivory idol, a goddess redefined; Shackled to the altar, she hands out our forgiveness. Like Moses on the mountain, so is God away in Paradise, And we, left below unattended, erect our here-and-now golden calf. |
