A Priest Walks Into A Bar... Lyrics

We wait and wait and wait and wait,
but it's as if you lost your heart when you found God.
I never knew you could disappear so
please don't get me wrong.
Did you really find all that you would need
was to look us all in the face and ask us all to leave?
Well goodbye, good friend.
I didn't know the invitation was our intervention.
It's as if you lost your heart when you found God.
I never knew you could disappear so
please don't get me wrong.
Did you really find all that you would need
was to look us all in the face and ask us all to leave?
You lost your heart for your soul,
and it misses you.
You lost your heart for your soul,
and it misses you. We all do.
We wait and wait and wait and wait.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"it's as if you lost your heart when you found God..."

oh, i know many a man who that's happened to in my life. Go off... find religion... become subserviant... come back and they don't think they are allowed to have fun with there life. 'Tis a grand shame to waste precious breath. If you want to find God, let him forgive you for having fun with your short time.

this song is about the break-up of coalesce due to the lead singer, sean ingram, finding god and leaving the band. nathan then wrote this song to be played by the casket lottery, his band after coalesce.
