CHuRCH ON FIRE
( J o n e s / A g o n a / K a n g w e n a / S k a i t h )
The church just caught fire and it seems like no one noticed
The padre is screaming down the wire, ‘Get the ladder!’ ‘Get the hoses!’
We are going to use up all the water that got set apart by Moses
The church just caught fire, see the flames leap up like roses
Holy smoke
We’ve got a church on fire
Oh the church just caught fire, you can see it from the window
People stare up at the spire as they’re going to the go-go
And the ashes spill on down like the snow that fell on fresno
The church just caught fire, going boom like a volcano
Holy smoke
We’ve got a church on fire
And it singe the thief, burn the liar, melt down pain, consume desire
Holy smoke, we’ve got a church on fire
The church just caught fire and it might not spare the members
And here comes Judas i, hoping nobody here remembers
There’s no safety in a kiss in your Junes and your novembers
The church just caught fire, don’t go sifting through the embers
Holy smoke
oh yes, the church is on fire
When we going to learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn
That we going to burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
When we going to learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn
That we going to burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
With this church on fire
