Earthly Pleasure by Villagers
Naked on the toilet with a toothbrush in his mouth,
When he suddenly acquired an overwhelming sense of doubt.
Every single piece of baggage he'd been holding on his back,
Was beginning to dig dig dig in and his back began began to crack.
And when he finally broke up, he found that he'd been breaking down.
Little body, little soul, little shrapnel on the ground
So he started to examine from the clumsy to the cute,
From the fat, fat cat to the destitute
From the chat, fat cat to the mute
Oh earthly pleasure ring out
From the rigors of this road
Earthly pleasure ring out
From the caverns of my soul
Then suddenly he found themselves in 1822
And he was in another body, in a heavy sort of suit
He was surrounded but he'd started making plans to make a run
When they called to him, son, cock your gun
And so he did as all the others had already done
He put his finger on the trigger and he gave 'em some
And though he don't like to admit it, it was sensual and pure
And he changed that day though he can't be sure
If it's the sickness or the cure.
Oh earthly pleasure ring out
From the rigors of this road
Earthly pleasure ring out
From the caverns of my soul
So there he was in front of her divine simplicity
