And now for something completely different


The Sacred Page

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Uproarious laughter
I want to be remembered in stolen kisses and midnight phone calls
My life is a prayer

Uproarious laughter
I kneel before the piece of paper
My life is a prayer
In phantom wisps of fog, the words disappear

I kneel before the piece of paper
Walls fly up, fast and furious
In phantom wisps of fog, the words disappear
The blank page wins, every blessed time

Walls fly up, fast and furious
I want to be remembered for my simple curry chicken salad
The blank page wins, every blessed time
Buut I am neither saint, nor sinner, merely mortal

I want to be remembered for my simple curry chicken salad
I want to be remembered in stolen kisses and midnight phone calls
The blank page wins, every blessed time
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
