Catholic Pagans Lyrics
never could be still for long
and i could never hold a job
coupled with a weakness for cocaine and liquor
not much you can do for love
when i met you i broke the mold
i fell apart and combed my hair
whiskey shakes for ten whole days
stay off the streets at night for weeks
i don't wanna be your catholic pagan now that you're here
we're counting on each other for love, survival, and everything else
please don't padlock your parent's bomb shelter
or fill her up with dust and ash
a landfill mecca for burnouts
and listless adolescent sour mash
i'm not saying that i've earned love
but i could really use it now
so turn out the lights over and over and over
we'll figure out the rest somehow
i don't wanna be your russian bride not anymore
barack hussein obama would have a field day if he knew at all
sorry we have to go
have to go
and i could never hold a job
coupled with a weakness for cocaine and liquor
not much you can do for love
i fell apart and combed my hair
whiskey shakes for ten whole days
stay off the streets at night for weeks
we're counting on each other for love, survival, and everything else
or fill her up with dust and ash
a landfill mecca for burnouts
and listless adolescent sour mash
but i could really use it now
so turn out the lights over and over and over
we'll figure out the rest somehow
barack hussein obama would have a field day if he knew at all
have to go

THANK GOD someone posted these lyrics. Love the song. Love the band. If only someone posted the lyrics to Swim to reach the end.
BTW where the question mark is the lyrics are
Barak Hussien (yes that's his middle name) lol
seriously? it's seriously obama???? haha.
It does say Barack Hussein Obama. This song is possibly my favorite off the album, however Harmonix is fantastic.
Also I'm pretty sure it's "Whiskey shakes for ten whole days".
I agree with indie fl and yes it was obama! Lol
does anyone have any sort of ideas as to what this songs about?
gettin stoned, drinkin' whisky.
And getting sober for a girl, not sure about the Obama line though...
devilbird, that's silly talk. we needn't discuss.
let's do a major overhaul:
title - catholic pagans: catholics worship relics and the virgin mary and the saints. pagans worship nature and other general beliefs. stanza one - he's mainly just talking about how he's a screw up and how it isn't helping his love life. stanza two - he's talking about how he fell in love with her and how he changed for her. stanza three - 'i dont want to be your catholic pagan now that you're here': he wants to have legit morals. 'we're counting on each other for love, survival, and everything else': he now introduces the idea that he needs her. stanza four - the cold war and revelation references.... stanza five - he is then talking about how he doesnt deserve love, but needs it in order to survive (her love). stanza six - 'russian bride': mail order brides with an alcohol dependency. 'obama''s reference can be interpreted in either the previous mentioned nuclear destruction or the rumors based on obama hussein's religious views that erupted during his election. end - 'sorry we have to go...': refers to the fact that he wants to die with his classy dame, in the apocalyptic days.
that's what i have for you dear children, enjoy.
quite accurate interpretation.
