Lyrics

Deep in prayer my cross to bear
I kneel upon the floor
Temptations of a catholic priest aren't easy to ignore
But I can not control myself
It rips my soul apart
For one small sheep among my flock has
Stole the shepherd's heart

Altar boy, altar boy
Confess your sins to me
You will find the grace of god
Inside my rectory

At sunday mass or bible class
I catch him in my view
So I close my eyes but there he lies
Spread eagle on the pew
And when I see him in that frock
I think he looks so fine
I'll drop a couple roofies into
His communion wine

Altar boy, altar boy
Is it gonna be heaven or hell
You can play my organ all night long
If you promise never to tell

Our father
Who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
If he thinks the second coming is bad
Then the third one's gonna be insane
Lead us not into temptation
Deliver us from sin
We could pretend that he was jesus christ
And I was mary magdalene

Altar boy, altar boy
Confess your sins to me
You will find the grace of god
Inside my rectory

Oh altar boy, oh altar boy
Confess your sins to me
You will find the grace of god
Inside my rectory
