Oh, Avignon Papacy is gone Frescoes on the walls, frescoes on the walls Oh, Boniface Holy Celestine Dante left disgraced Avignon, comfort me Well, I spend my time Drinking goblets of Bacchus red wine For all those who crawl shall be friends of mine Their white cassock robes Cast long shadows in the Palace of the Popes This old stone bridge no longer crosses the Rhone Oh, Avignon Papacy is gone Frescoes on the walls, frescoes on the walls Bethesda arcades Swelled up with rain Fell in love with you on the promenade The fountain remains As the lightning brigades And threatens to pummel the palisades Sweared upon open eyes, I'll be there for you in your demise Let you into my walls, and showed you my gardens and my waterfalls With my fortifications, avoid humiliations I'll walk you down the hall and let you surmise, every time Oh, Avignon Papacy is gone Frescoes on the walls, frescoes on the walls Well, here I sit along the grimy banks of the muddy river Appropriately named for its viscous consistency Contaminated by Fenway soil and motor oil Protected by Cat's and Komatsu's, shaded by the trees In a city not far from the Maginot line Stands an olive, suffocated by wisteria vines So long, poor olive tree, didn't deserve to die Dripping lilac pedals, nature's way to try and hide And in the misty air, you told me of your little problems And how they make you act and play with your fragile brain And as I stared into your eyes, my mind began to wander You'll love me as much as I love you one of these days All the lovers of this world have their own place to hide Somewhere warm, somewhere cozy, preferably inside But all the love their crave sure won't stand the test of time All I wanted were these little friends of mine
