Satan fell


WE LIVE IN A MYSTERY.
I TELL YOU WHAT WORKS FOR ME
AS BEST AS I CAN SEE.
BUT LIFE MAKES FOOLS OF US ALL.

Alright, shut up, David. 
Now, David, you speak.
OK....

There is an old parish
where I used to sit
and view the Bless-ed Sacrament.
...All is gone now; gone, gone, gone.
Satan fell like lightening....

I like to mope.

But it is a beautiful parish.
And from there, 
I once heard it preached:
"I'm the problem."

It's strong medicine. 
But sometimes you need it.
Sometimes, to evade Satan's fury,
just side-step the battle,
admit it, you're guilty. Oh, well.

That's how I see it, at least.
I like getting depressed sometimes anyway.

Why not? Instead of getting bitter,
like my demon, Mr. Bitter,
I'll choose to feel sorry for myself, a little.

I'm the problem! There, I said it.
Leave me alone to feel pitiful.

A little depression ain't so bad sometimes,
is it?

I used to get so upset, up there,
the place of the Blessed Sacrament,
the city where I used to live.
I'd be a one-man army in the streets
some days.
Kind, in the hood.
A menace, on my walks.

It's no way to be, in the long run.
I got chastened by dogs, down here.
Down here, where I now live.
Your anger won't fly
in the face of dumb brutes.
They don't care.

Satan had to get polite or get bit.
Oh well. That's life. I'm happier.
