Fatima Mansions, The - 13th Century Boy

Let the dark ages begin...now!



You don't live the way you should

You're not chaste or wise or good

Oh no, when you're human

I wait for you, my queen

I keep myself ready clean like my maker--against nature

I needn't worry about all the wars out there

The price of fish and all the ineffective hygiene



Chorus:

You are the reason why i've reached perfection

You are the reason why i try to tend this fertile void

I'm a 13th century boy



These are heroic times

So thumb your nose at years gone by

Be hardened...we're a legend

Now love keeps the country green

I know because i've seen the pictures

In this week's scriptures



All i know is that i feel you coming near

All you need know is that your [prophet elector] is waiting--chorus



You are the reason why i live forever

You are the reason why i learned to love the void

Oh, i'm a 13th century boy

Oh, i'm a new dark ages boy

I'm a 13th century boy
