Deep in prayer, my cross to bear, I kneel upon the floor.

Temptations of a Catholic priest aren’t easy to ignore.

I close my eyes, but there he lies, spread eagle on the pew.

And when I see him in that frock, my conscience goes awry.
G         Dsus2          A  Asus2  A     G         Dsus2      A
I’ll give him some Communion wine that’s spiked with Spanish fly.

G    A
Altar boy.
      Bm
Oh, altar boy.

Is it gonna be heaven or hell?

        G            Dsus2  A Asus2       G       Dsus2    A Asus2
No, no, no, lead us not into temptation. Deliver us from sin...

Confess your sins to me.

You will find the grace of God inside my rectory.
