Tom Waits - Altar Boy Lyrics
He's an ol' altar boyLying out there in the streetHe's an ol' alter boyBound up in leather and chainsThat's why I'm feeling so blueI'm an old altar boyWhat about you?Now, I can order in LatinMake 'em au gratin, JoeI'm an old altar boyThat's why I'm so depressedI never got the rest of the dreamJust the ritualNow I'm habitualMajoring in crimes that are unspeakableCause I'm an old altar boyThat's what happened to me.I'm an old altar boyHe's hoping he can meet a woman dressed like a nunHe knows there's got to be some around hereDrinking across from the churchA little Father Cribari wineOn a Sunday morn' time.I'm an old altar boy.Why is he winking at this time in his life?He never took a wife, cause he's an old altar boyOh, yeah...What about you?
