[Verse 1]
Holy water on the brain, and I'm losin' sleep
Holy Bible on the nightstand next to me
As I'm raped by another monkey circus freak
Tryin' to take my indignance away from me, from me

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, holy water's rustin' me
Yeah, holy water's rustin' me
It's rustin' me
Rustin' me

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Bloody murder is the best I've heard her scream
Holy devil in the flesh, some might believe
And they take thine majesty so seriously
'Cause it's the big lies more likely to be believed, believed

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, holy water's rustin' me
Yeah, holy water's rustin' me
It's rustin' me
Rustin' me, yeah
