[Verse 1]
For twenty years I've held this pulpit
Preached the word, served the Eucharist
Gained the trust of the townsfolk
Made every football game, never missed a social
[Verse 2]
Last week, a boy I taught theology
Came back in town with a new ideology
And now those feelings I tucked away
Threaten this sanctuary
[Chorus 1]
A lifetime of burning culminated
In one innocent, forbidden touch
I know this is wrong
'Cause I'm told this is wrong
[Verse 3]
A new recruit, twenty-five years old
He joined the habit with a chip on his shoulder
Some nights he'd proclaim his preference
But only flat back drunk on a bottle of Jameson
[Verse 4]
One of those nights we stayed up, the two of us
Singing our lives, just the two of us
We were hiding in the dark
I fell asleep by his side
For twenty years I've held this pulpit
Preached the word, served the Eucharist
Gained the trust of the townsfolk
Made every football game, never missed a social
[Verse 2]
Last week, a boy I taught theology
Came back in town with a new ideology
And now those feelings I tucked away
Threaten this sanctuary
[Chorus 1]
A lifetime of burning culminated
In one innocent, forbidden touch
I know this is wrong
'Cause I'm told this is wrong
[Verse 3]
A new recruit, twenty-five years old
He joined the habit with a chip on his shoulder
Some nights he'd proclaim his preference
But only flat back drunk on a bottle of Jameson
[Verse 4]
One of those nights we stayed up, the two of us
Singing our lives, just the two of us
We were hiding in the dark
I fell asleep by his side
