Meryn Cadell — The Pope lyrics

Lyrics

It began as a regular day in my room with a cup of hot black coffee
Well, sure I was depressed, but I always am
Some people love life, well not me
But then the choppers came
Two by two by ten
Announcing Apocalypse of a different kind
So I ran out of my room, ran down the stairs
Down the street, into Nathan Phillips Square
People, people running and horses everywhere, yeah
The pope, pope, pope, pope, pope
We all here to see the pope, pope, pope, pope, pope
Well, you got your pope pennants, buttons, your pope clothes
You got your pope binoculars to see him up close
And I cried when I saw that man in white
I cried, much to my surrounders' delight
I cried, 'cause I couldn’t breathe anymore; I cried
'cause people were stepping on my feet
Hey, hey Mr. Holiness way over there
Maybe we love you, but we’re sadly lacking air
Well I love that man, Pope John Paul the 3rd
I love him probably more than he deserves
Okay, so he persecutes homosexuals, does not believe in abortion
Visits with Kurt Waldheim and tells us not to take the pill …
There’s still a certain je ne sais quoi —
Some peace, some love, some goodwill
Yeah, the pope, pope, pope, pope, pope
We all here to see the pope, pope, pope, pope, pope
Well, you got your pope pennants, buttons, your pope clothes
You got your pope binoculars to see him up close
And I cried when I saw that man in white
I cried, much to my surrounders' delight
I cried, 'cause I couldn’t breathe anymore; I cried
'cause people were stepping on my feet
Hey, hey Mr. Holiness way over there
Maybe we love you, but we’re sadly lacking air
Then he scooted away in that great Popemobile
I was feeling so trampled, I didn’t know what else to feel
Then we all kissed the ground where John Paul had been …
I can hardly wait till someone famous comes to town again
Yeah, the pope, pope, pope, pope, pope
Uh huh, the pope, pope, pope, pope, pope, pope, pope
