Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa musta felt like this sometimes
Mother Teresa musta felt like this sometimes
We had to drive eight hours
Just to play some hole in the wall
The Giants got bombed again
And I can’t finish books these days
She kept me up all night
She needed my tongue and four fingers
And even before she left
I found myself missing you, & thinking

Mother Teresa musta got depressed sometimes
Mother Teresa musta got depressed sometimes
When she was driving around
Calcutta there must have been times
She wanted to just kick back
With magazines and ESPN
There must have been times that she
Thought, what am I doing with my life
What if I had a man at night
What if I’m avoiding something

Mother Teresa, where are you now
I think I need to talk to–
Mother Teresa, where are you now
I think I need to talk to you

Mother Teresa hadda get horny sometimes
Mother Teresa hadda get horny sometimes
When she was staying in cheap hotels
Hadn’t gotten laid in years
The porno channel’s only seven bucks
And no one really wants to be saved
Understand I mean no disrespect
It’s just that I been on the road so long
Don’t really have the time to be polite
Don’t really have the time for anything much, ‘cept thinking,

Mother Teresa musta felt like this sometimes
Mother Teresa musta felt depressed sometimes
Mother Teresa musta got horny sometimes
Mother Teresa musta felt like this sometimes

Mother Teresa, where are you now
I think I need to talk to–
Mother Teresa, where are you now
I think I need to talk to you….
