Deliver Me - Ben Caplan

I don’t believe in heaven in the winter

I don’t believe in winter in the fall

I beat my temples just to see them splintered

I tear the wings off flies just to see them crawling

Down, down through the gravel and the mud

Where a rope can’t knot and a soap can’t sud

St. Peter’s on a smoke break, the devil’s dressed in silk

And you always eat the mother after drinking her milk

I don’t believe my I’s are ever dotted

I don’t believe my T’s are ever crossed

I stick it in because I see it slotted

I kick it in the ribs to have it turning and tossing

Down, down through the weeds and the rain

Where a man can’t lie and a woman can’t faint

St. Peter’s on a smoke break, the devil’s dressed in silk

And you always eat the mother after drinking her milk

Deliver me, doctor deliver me

Doctor, deliver me from this world

I don’t believe in happily or in after

I don’t believe in dreams I can’t recall

I never got invited to the afters (?)

I never got why sinners never see themselves falling

Down, down through the fire and the smoke

Where a leg can’t set and an egg can’t yolk

St. Peter’s on a smoke break, the devil’s dressed in silk

And you always eat the mother after drinking her milk

Deliver me, doctor deliver me

Doctor, deliver me from this world

Deliver me, deliver me from this world
