Plastic Bead Rosaries Songtext

Wash your hands clean
Put a rosary around your neck

And we will skate to the house where
Where you were born
Where your uncle he was sick
Where your mother said to you
That the disease it was spread
That the disease it was spread
That his disease it was spread
To punish the ungodly
His disease it was spread
How can we deny it, when
All of his friends are dead
All of his friends have died
How can we deny, deny
How can deny it
So you push away and you say
"Well, I have slept with a girl, Dax
I know, I know, I know, I know I know I have it
And you should run while you can
I know you're tired of my face
I think you should get me drunk and drown me in your bathtub
And I wish you'd hit me harder."

Put a rosary around your neck
Put a rosary around your neck
Put a rosary around your neck
And try to go to school
Put a rosary around your neck
And fill up all your books
With pictures of your dream girl

Becky says you've got to concentrate
Becky says that you're a star
Becky says that you don't need friends
And it's okay to be a lesbian
But at night you call your sister
And she hasn't come home
And she is out with a boy
Who chose your twin over you

But everyone wants to hold your hand tight
They are tellin' you to say
Everything is gonna be
Everything is gonna be

Your step mother's mother speaks
One sunny Easter morning
From behind her black cigarettes
From behind two-hundred pounds
From between two electrical scars on her temples
That pills are what saved her
They are necessary for life
You need to keep taking your Luvox, honey
And that's the extent of her advice

Put a rosary around your neck
Put a rosary around your neck
Put a rosary around your neck
Put a rosary around your neck
Put a rosary around your neck
I wish I had you back
To put a rosary around your neck
