Butterscotch Songtext
von Eraserheads

You can take me to the prom
Promise not to tell your mom
Mama never tells you why
But she kicks you in the eye
I don′t think she understands
I just wanna hold your hand
I don't even own a car so we couldn′t get that far

Father Marcus said to me
Just confess and you'll be free
Sit you down upon my my lap
Tell me your sins just like that
You said baby know the rule
You livin' in a Catholic school
All the teacher says you′re fine
But don′t do dirty mind


I am only in my teens
I live only for my dreams
I cannot let you stay
Life is journey anyway
Hey, life is journey anyway, hey, hey, hey

Teacher, teacher please make me well
I don't want to go to hell
Teacher, teacher what can I do
I don′t know boy
It's up to you

It′s time to free your mind
It's time to cleanse your soul

It′s time to free your mind
It's time to cleanse you're soul

Yo Father! Forgive me for I have sinned
I′d rather talk to God but he′s out and you're in
It′s a little complicated but Father don't sweat it
You can hear me out or you can just forget it

Now I haven′t been to church in about ten years
One time, I had to pull my little sister's ear
But I′m not really violent and it shows
I go for flower power as the stupid song goes


Sometimes I tell a lie but
Only when it's true
And I often say the words like, "Shit" and "Fuck you"

I like to read a lot of dirty comic books and I give my teacher a lot of dirty looks

But this is the last thing that I am gonna say
It's embarrassing for me to talk to you anyways
But before I forget
Before I carry on
I stole a table napkin from a fancy restaurant
Please father tell me, tell me what I′m gonna do (what I′m gonna do)
I am full of guilt and now it's upto you
Now, please father tell me, tell me what I′m gonna do

I am full of guilt and now it's up to you
Hey!

Just say ten Hail Mary′s
Twenty-one Glory be's
Thirteen Our Father′s
And a hundred Amen
Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen
Wow!

You can take me to the prom
Promise not to tell your mom
Mama never tells you why
But she kicks you in the eye
I don't think she understands
I just wanna hold your hand
I don't even own a car so we couldn′t get that far

I am only in my teens
I live only for my dreams
I cannot let you stay
Life is journey anyway

I am only in my teens
I live only for my dreams
I cannot let you stay
Life is journey anyway, hey

Life is journey anyway, hey, hey, hey
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
