The Basketball Diaries Soundtrack lyrics Catholic Boy lyrics I was born in a pool, they made my mother stand And I spat on that surgeon and his trembling hand When I felt the light I was worse than bored I stole the doctor's scalpel and I slit the cord I was a Catholic boy I was redeemed through pain Not through joy I was two months early, they put me under glass I screamed and cursed at children when their nurses passed I was convicted of theft as I slipped from the womb They led me straight from my mother to a cell in the Tombs I was a Catholic boy I was redeemed through pain Not through joy They starved me for weeks, they thought they'd teach me fear I fed on cellmates' dreams, it gave me fine ideas When they cut me loose, the time had served me well I made allies in heaven, I made comrades in hell I was a Catholic child The blood ran red The blood ran wild I make angels dance and drop to their knees When I enter a church the feet of statues bleed I understand the fate of all my enemies Just like Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane I was a Catholic boy I was redeemed through pain An not through joy I watched the sweetest psalm stolen by our choir I dreamed of martyrs' bones hanging from a wire I make a contribution, I get absolution I make a resolution to purify my soul I'm a Catholic boy Redeemed through pain Not through joy And they can't touch me now I got every sacrament behind me I got baptism, I got penance I got communion, I got extreme unction Man, I've got confirmation I was a Catholic boy Redeemed through pain And not through joy And now I'm a Catholic man I put my tongue to the rail whenever I can Other The Basketball Diaries Soundtrack lyrics: Devil's Toe lyrics Down by the Water lyrics What a Life lyrics I Am Alone lyrics People Who Died lyrics Riders on the Storm lyrics Dizzy lyrics It's Been Hard lyrics Coming Right Along lyrics Strawberry Wine lyrics Star lyrics I've Been Down lyrics Blind Dogs lyrics |
