We married him on fire Like the nuns who married god Then we jumped out of the airplane And trusted we would fall Then we traveled through the mountains With our bodies weighted down By the perfect lovely vision In the absence of all sound And though he was a faithful tailor Our deeds we must confess We loved so many others Despite our wedding dress So when the lace snagged on the fender Of the car he left to drive When we took it on a bender When we took it for a ride We wound up thirsty in this jail cell But we've heard he said it here To excavate this holy well And pour it crystal clear And we filled our cup with silence And the words who keep in time With the song that he will sing us As forgiveness for our crime Well love it's true you're golden throated And your history is long And you've had so many lovely creatures Occupy your songs So may we take you to the alter We'll feed you bread and wine And be swimming in the fountain with you Till the end of time
