Christina the Astonishing Lived a long time ago She was stricken with a seizure At the age of twenty-two They took her body in a coffin To a tiny church in Liege Where she sprang up from the coffin Just after the Agnus Dei She soared up to the rafters Perched on a beam up there Cried "The stink of human sin The stink of human sin The stink is more that I can bear" Christina the Astonishing Was the most astonishing of all She prayed balanced on a hurdle Or curled up into a ball She fled to remote places Climbed towers and trees and walls To escape the stench of human corruption The stench of human corruption Into an oven she did crawl Christina the Astonishing Behaved in a terrifying way She would run wildly through the streets Jump in the Meusse and swim away Christina the Astonishing Behaved in terrifying manner She died at the age of seventy-four Died at the age of seventy-four In the convent of St Anna
