Trapped In A Church

Trapped In A Church

Trapped in a Church

 

I was trapped in a church 3 days from now

The light shined in but there was no way out

A barefoot nun came by and confirmed my doubt

 

You can never hope to get out of this place

If you don’t make up your mind you’re not in the race

You’ll never make it in this state of mind

By the way what were you expecting to find

 

I’ve been searching high and low for release

All I came here for was just some peace

A torn picture of the pope and a rosary lay

 

And I know everybody’s got their own beliefs

Everybody this they talk to the chief

Me I guess I probably got it the worst

See I’m stuck here alone; I’m trapped in a Church

 

Bridge

 

Maybe you can help me

I hide my head in my hands, because I don’t understand

Angry religion it’s an angry world

Every man has his own point of view

Every man thinks that he’s talking to you

Can you spare me a minute/can you spare me sometime?

What are you doing right now my God?

 

I knocked on the door one last time/to my surprise it swung open wide

I sat down on the steps and lit up a smoke

Got such a joy from all the passersby, was happy just to be alive

Just between me and you I loved being trapped in a church
