I took a cab ride with Reverend Billy

I suggested the Starbucks Drive through

Billy was struck by a bolt from up above

And he got on his knees and prayed

He said save her

Save her

She’s a beautiful child of this world

She’s got one hand in the devils paw

The other on her credit card

Exorcise the demons from this girl

Billy was afire with the spirit from above

My body was a shakin’

Felt like I was cracking up

We came upon a wal mart store

I got that devils urge

So the Reverend held me down while I purged

He said save her

Save her

She’s a beautiful child of this world

She’s got one hand in the devils paw

The other on her credit card

Exorcise the demons from this girl

We raced across the city

To the Mercury Café

We ordered local cheeses

And some fair trade lattes

Billy held my fragile head

And fed me apple pie

And we sent those corporate coffee cups

Right  back down to hell to fry

He said save her, save her

She’s a beautiful child of this world

She’s got one hand in the devils paw

The other in her money box

Exorcise the demons from this girl
