Into the Convent

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Madeleine is running away from herself, afraid of the shame She's crying out for help, to be clean again [Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque] [Verse 2] No one cared and no one ever will, her feelings were not shared She wants to break the spell and she's going [Chorus] Into the convent, a smile on her face Into the darkness to hide all her sins Wondering what could go wrong in this place [Bridge 1] [Father Pierre David:] "Welcome Sister, I'm your chaplain Down on your knees and pray if you please In this convent, I'm your master Kiss my cross now, dearest Sister In the name of-" [Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque] [Verse 3] Madeleine is running away from herself As Father David said, "At communion, you must be undressed" Why did she go [Chorus] Into the convent, a smile on her face Into the darkness to hide all her sins Wondering what could go wrong in this place [Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque] [Verse 4] [Father Pierre David:] "Come along Sister Madeleine, unfold your wildest dreams It's time to join and sing, let the feast begin" That night, she awoke to find "The Eye" on the stone cold floor Why? She never, ever would know why but she put it on [Guitar Solo: Pete Blakk] [Outro] Next day, Father David passed away at communion time Why? He never, ever would know why but he looked at "The Eye" The eye of the necklace is taking it's toll Inside the convent, a soul will rejoice
