lyrics

I think the lake of fire is subject to tidal phenomena
I think the screaming of the damned rises and falls in small intervals
I think that hell is quietly throbbing under our feet
all that kinetic energy has gotta go somewhere

I think below us the beasts and the false prophets and the devils
are staring jealously up at us with open palms
and peter and paul and all those up in the bosom of abraham
are staring pleasantly down at us with crossed arms

and god's gonna bubble up from the mud and none of you motherfuckers will have a clue what to do but don't worry
I'll tell you something else

did you know they sell new women's compact devotional bibles
NIV translations of the old and new testament
75 x 5 x 125 mm
lightweight offset paper seven point pink font

I think some trans woman punk down there in oklahoma
came home from high school one day only to find
the new women's compact devotional bible on her bed
as a confusing gesture from her devout parents

and satan's gonna spill down from the rafters and all of you babies will broil about but I'll tell you, I'll tell you
I won't tell you anything

and being raised catholic gave me divine authority to say really whatever I like in an exclamatory manner
