Cadell Meryn - The Pope lyrics

rate me

It began as a regular day in my room,

with a cup of hot black coffee

Sure, I was depressed but I always am

Some people love life, well not me.

But then the choppers came,

two by two by ten

announcing apocalypse of a different kind

So I ran out of my room, ran down the stairs

Down the street into Nathan Phillips Square

People, people running and horses everywhere

Yeah, the Pope, Pope, Pope, Pope, Pope

We're all here to see the Pope, Pope, Pope, Pope, Pope

Well you got yer pope pennants, buttons,

yer pope clothes

You got yer pope binoculars to see him up close

and I cried when I saw that man in white

I cried much to my surrounder's delight.

I cried 'cause I couldn't breathe anymore

I cried 'cause people were stepping on my feet

Hey, hey Mr. Holiness, way over there,

maybe we love you but we're sadly lakcing air.

Well, I love that man, Pope John Paul III.

I love him, probably more than he deserves.

Okay, so he persecutes homosexuals,

does not believe in abortion,

vists with Kurt Waldheim

and tells us not to take the Pill,

there's still a certain je ne sais quoi...

Some peace, some love some goodwill

Yeah, the Pope, Pope, Pope, Pope Pope.

(Etc.)

Then he scooted away in that great Popemobile

I was feeling so trampled

I didn't know what else to feel.

Then we all kissed the ground

where John Paul had been.....

I can hardly wait

til someone famous comes to town again.
