Butterscotch - Eraserheads

Written by：Ely Buendia

You can take me to the prom

Promise not to tell your mom

Mama never tells you why

While she kicks you in the eye

I don't think she understands

I just wanna hold your hand

I don't even own a car so be

Couldn't get that far aah

Father Markus said to me

Just confess and you'll be free

Sit you down upon my lap

Tell me your sins just like that

He said baby know the rules

You're living in a Catholic school

All the teachers say you're fine

But they don't have dirty minds

Aaah I am only in my teens

I live only for my dreams

I cannot be made to stay

Life's a journey anyway

Hey

Life's a journey anyway

Hey

Teacher teacher please make me well

I don't want to go to hell

Teacher teacher what can I do

I don't know boy it's up to you

Ooooh it's time to free your mind

It's time to cleanse your soul ooh

It's time to free your mind

It's time to cleanse your soul ooh

Yo father forgive me for I have sinned

I'd rather talk to God but he's out and your in

It's a little complicated but father don't sweat it

You can hear me out or you can just forget it

Now I haven't been to church in about ten years

And one time I had to pull my little sister's ears

But I'm not really violent and it shows

I go for flower power as that stupid song goes

Sometimes I tell a lie but only when it's true

And I often say things like sh*t and f**k you

I like to read a lot of dirty comic books

And I've given dirty teachers a lot of dirty looks

But this is the last thing that I'm ever gonna say

It's embarassing for me to talk to you this way

Before I forget and before I carry on I stole a table

Napkin from a fancy restaurant

Now please father tell me tell me what I gotta do

What I gotta do

I am full of guilt and now it's up to you

Now please father tell me tell me what I gotta do

Gotta do

I am full of guilt and now it's up to you

Hey

Just say 10 Hail Mary's

21 gloery be's

29 fathers and a hundred amens

Amens amens amens amens amens

Amens amens amens amens amens

Amens amens

You can take to the prom

Promise not to tell your mom

Mama never tells you why

But she kicks you in the eye

I don't think she understands

I just wanna hold your hand

I don't even hold a car so we couldn't get

That far

I am only in my teens

I live only for my dreams

I can not make you stay

Life is journey anyway

I am only in my teens

I live only for my dreams

I can not make you stay

Life is journey anyway

Life is journey anyway
