Shotgun Pageant Lyrics
Love can be your gravest mistake
When you feel close to the earth
And so it happened in the form of a snake
Temptation to slither in dirt
And a pure skin on skin can result in kin
And be recepted with petroleum smiles
'Cause the shotgun pageant packed with tooth-filled grins
Nine more months for a child
Cut back me overgrown weed
Spin this forty-five at half speed
Please Jesus listen to me
I'm not ready
I'm not ready
To be anything
From a foreground guarantee ring
A finger sweats beneath
Co-owned assembly factory
Another man-made being
Cut back me overgrown weed
Spin this forty-five at half speed
Please Jesus listen to me
I'm not ready
I'm not ready
To be anything
When you feel close to the earth
And so it happened in the form of a snake
Temptation to slither in dirt
And be recepted with petroleum smiles
'Cause the shotgun pageant packed with tooth-filled grins
Nine more months for a child
Spin this forty-five at half speed
Please Jesus listen to me
I'm not ready
I'm not ready
To be anything
A finger sweats beneath
Co-owned assembly factory
Another man-made being
Spin this forty-five at half speed
Please Jesus listen to me
I'm not ready
I'm not ready
To be anything

This song's mainly about one of Bain's cousins, I believe, who got pregnant out of wedlock. Thus shotgun pageant, like a shotgun wedding.
