Catholic School

(Verse 1) Uniform tie and a Sunday dress We were taught to kneel and to confess Sister Mary said to keep the path Told us love was good, but watch the wrath Now the pews are dark, but the neon's bright I'm looking for grace on a Friday night (Chorus) So what’s a face like yours Doin’ in a place like this? Sittin' at the bar with a hit or miss We both know what’s right, we both know the rules Lord help us both, we went to Catholic school Yeah, we know what’s good We went to Catholic school (Verse 2) Pour a little poison, make a good excuse Tryin' to turn this heartbreak loose They say it ain’t a sin if you lay it bare Leave every little wrong in a quiet prayer So pour another shot for a fake anointment Drown every fear, every disappointment (Chorus) So what’s a face like yours Doin’ in a place like this? Sittin' at the bar with a hit or miss We both know what’s right, we both know the rules Lord help us both, we went to Catholic school Yeah, we know what’s good We went to Catholic school (Bridge) God made me this way, or so I claim When I’m runnin’ from the guilt and the holy blame Break my heart if you’ve got one at all We can talk, we can hold, we can take the fall Before the morning comes to wash it away We’re just two stray sheep tryin’ to make it through the day (Chorus) So what’s a face like yours Doin’ in a place like this? Sittin' at the bar with a hit or miss We both know what’s right, we both know the rules Lord help us both, we went to Catholic school (Outro) Yeah, I know what’s good Lord knows we went to Catholic school Pour a little poison… Drown it like it don’t hurt.
