Sweet Mother Of God

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Regal dream and prim madonna Angel queen of Tijuana Mother earth and virgin saint Succor, nurse, and suffrir gate Gaudy beauty's hocus-pocus Guadalupe's theotokos For heathens, scribes, enraptured daughters A neon bride on dashboard altars [Chorus] (Sweet mother of God) What's got into you, boy? (Oh, for the love of God) What's got into you, boy? (Sweet mother of God) You ponder, you wander, you cling, and you lean While she's bruising you, using you, seldom refusing you [Verse 2] Monumental apparition Ornamental grave beautician Satirized and patronized Undersized and glamorized Matriarchal wisdom seat Sentimental Paraclete Statuesque forlorn pieta Eskewed, suppressed, and scorned contessa [Chorus] (Sweet mother of God) What's got into you, boy? (Oh, for the love of God) What's got into you, boy? (Sweet mother of God) You ponder, you wander, you cling, and you lean While she's bruising you, using you, seldom refusing you [Bridge] Cosa Nostra placebo Glorisa domino Mediatrix bella donna Dominicus della strada [Verse 3] Limbo low e' la cañada Tuck and roll lobla limbada Co-redemptrix mediation Genuflexix obligation Latria et fatima Oblida basilica Gratia plena benedicta Adolescentia byzantina [Chorus] (Sweet mother of God) What's got into you, boy? (Oh, for the love of God) What's got into you, boy? (Sweet mother of God) You ponder, you wander, you cling, and you lean While she's bruising you, using you, seldom refusing you [Outro] Isn't it wild? Mother and child Meek and the mild, never defiled Fruit of the womb, out of the tomb Bride and the groom, sun and the moon Altar queen wonder, suffering lover Covering buffer, hovering mother Blessing and testing, confessing and pressing Inerrant, transparent, domestic, majestic (Sweet mother of God) Idyllic, angelic, filling, dispelling Foretelling, compelling, instilling, indwelling (Oh, for the love of God) Favoring, laboring, savoring, flavoring Healing us, sealing us, stealing us, leading us (Sweet mother of God) Ponder her, honor her, magistrate, venerate Bond to her, long for her, sing to her, cling to her And I'm not so sure that anything's wrong with her
