Pearl Jam CATHOLIC BOY LRC歌詞

I was born in a pool
Left in my mother's stand
I spat at that surgeon and his tremblin' hand
When I felt for life, I was the nursery boy
I stole the doctors scalpel and I slit the cord...
I was a Catholic boy...
I was redeemed through pain, not through joy...
I was two months early, they put me under gla*s
I screamed and cursed at children when the nurses pa*sed
Was convicted of theft as I slid from the womb
They led me straight from my stroller to a cell in the tombs...
I was a Catholic boy...
Redeemed through pain, not through joy...
They starved me for weeks, they thought they'd teach me fear
I fed on cell-mates trees, it gave me flyin' ideas
When they cut me loose, the time it served you well
I made allies in Heaven, comrades in Hell
I was a Catholic child...
With the grand red...the grand wild...
I make angels dance and drop to their knees
When I enter a church the feet of statue bleed
I understand the faith of all my enemies
With that Christ and the God, it's never me...
I'm a Catholic boy...
I was redeemed through pain and not through joy...
I watched His sweetest psalms stolen by the choir
I dreamed of all his bones hangin' from a wire
I take the contribution, I get absolution
I make the resolution to verify my soul...
I'm a Catholic boy...
Redeemed through pain, not through joy...
And they can't touch me now, I got every size of the...
They got Baptism, I got Penance
I got Communion, I got extreme...
Man...I got Confirmation...
I was a Catholic boy...
Redeemed through pain and not through joy...
And now, I'm a Catholic man...
I put my tongue to the rail whenever I can...
