Here's the news everybody's heard, the sheep's been flocked by the shepherd And here's the news going round the town The priest got the mother a new dressing gown Here's the latest story from the congregation hall, where the only spot of glory is in a bathroom stall And everybody wants to know is that where the mother goes And everybody seems to see that it's not what it seems And everybody wants to know: Where'd the mother go Have you heard the one where the priest goes to a bar, takes a shot of whiskey and stumbles to his car He falls down on his knees, he's going down, down, down The priest got the mother a new dressing gown Down in the playground where all of the kids ask about the hypocrite Everybody wants to know, where'd the mother go Now they're sinning, and he pleads As he's down on his knees Now everybody seems to know where the mother goes Have you heard the one where the priest goes to a bar, takes a shot of whiskey and stumbles to his car He falls down on his knees, he's going down, down, down The priest got the mother a new dressing gown Oh Mother Mary, what have we done? We flew like Icarus but now we've reached the sun Was it temptation or was it love? How do I tell her that she's all I'm dreaming of Am I a sinner for wanting more? This isn't Babylon and she isn't a whore Oh Father, Father, I'm begging please, I'm praying for your guidance As I'm down on my knees You're going down, down, you pulled the lever Gonna burn, burn, burn forever Going down, down, you pulled the lever, gonna burn You're going down, down, you pulled the lever Gonna burn, burn, burn forever Going down, down, down
