I was drunk at the pulpit,

I knew it was wrong

And I left in mid- sermon tempted

by a bar- house song

The pews creaked and shifted as

they turned to watch me leave

And I pulled a little bottle from

The sunlight was stronger to my

church- dark widened eyes

Than the light which had blinded me

with Christ's own half- lies

Yes mid- Sunday morning,

my old playmates sat

Round a stumble stained table,

Christopher spat

And he kicked out a chair

and showed me to sit

Then they started back singing

in that shit- smelling pit

They were grinning and dribbling

with comforted heads

Their wives were in church

or at home and in beds

Well I sucked down a cupful

and God shone within

In a red earthen mask,
Verse 3

and I saw where I'd been was a palace of sin.

Let them abstain on

unbucking high horses

Poor wooden structures which

merely eye courses

That these log heads run

just to find some respite

In the whiskey- induced

holy unending night

Yes I thought I saw new light,

the black one which dimmed

The bleach garments with which

mingled pee on stained rims

Oh the church songs they paled

next to this fiery chorus

Composed from a living

depth especially for us

There were arms linked in sympathy,

gilded the glaring

Of these bloated companions,

who hid 'neath their swearing

Some need for another,

kin to brother lust,

Which coarse words and music,

was faith and less trust

Yes I saw a dependence,

an inherent weakness

Within walls which hid sunlight

and hindered all frankness

That floor there supported

what souls couldn't stand

On their own in their own eyes,

to hint they are men

Who are slave to their

vision but to that alone

Yes each of them cloistered

fear of being alone

Wherever folks gather, to imply a rule,

They are each one a sinner, each one a fool

For if I drink my whiskey, and if I sing a song

I have no breast companion,

a- trailing along

To imagine a sharing of

burdens I earned

To steal from the embers

i strove so to burn

God is one's corpus,

and Jesus one's blood

The world is within you, without is of mud...
