lyrics

We snuck into the church
right before it was to close
we hid out underneath one of the pews
when they locked up
we had our run of the place
we drank all the communion wine
and you passed out with a rosary around your neck
and your arm across your chest
I said a prayer for you
and I went to sleep too
oh yeah I went to sleep too

We woke up early Sunday morning
the priest was tapping on your leg
we got kicked out and walked down toward the square
I was still so hungover from that wine
that I couldn't see five feet in front of me
we sat down on a bench
and watched the morning come in
and watched the birds fly off south
oh you said a prayer for them
and I said a prayer for them too
