That Was a Hell of a Wedding
THAT WAS A HELL OF A WEDDING
There ain’t no one that will say I make sense
There ain’t no reason for me to mask a pretense
There ain’t no reason for anyone to hear what I say
Because long before they understand I’ve taken my away
I live in a big city but feel so small
Bouncing from lovers like rubber ball
So I stand on a soapbox speaking to them all
Waiting for the sky or the skyscrapers to fall
I promise them prognostications that will never come true
While I explain why the dove with an olive branch flew
He left his nest with babies begging to be fed
because God’s son and Satan’s daughter are wed
I sweat on the concrete trying to teach what I’ve learned first hand
I was taught that at fancy parties people like me are banned
I also learned that somehow people see through my facade
And ain’t no one who’s going to forgive me, especially God
