lyrics

CHURCH BASEMENTS

Words and music by J. Rae Perigoe (inspired by Mozart’s “Laudate Dominum”)


Hide and seek in the church basement

I am eight years old

I have found a hole

Within a Black Forest of music stands


Depending on my placement

No one will find me

For eternity

Save Katie wading to me on her hands



Katie, Katie...

Save me

From the church basements (basements)
Katie crawls to me, we are sardines

In the stands' seaweed

From Sunday School we're freed

We'll get Laughing Jesus to marry us


Katie, won't you be my queen?

You're as smart as me

We'll rule o'er grade three

'Til the stands collapse and bury us


Katie, Katie...

Save me

From the church basements (basements)
