lyrics

The Bogart Street subway steps.
The human may prove to be a friendly beast yet.
But you still hope you don’t break your teeth
by some turn of events.
I throw out my sandwich trash at the designated vat,
but I lug love with me for the sake of Saint Pete.
I lug love with me for the sake of Saint Pete.

When someone tells me I’m in for a treat,
I hope I don’t break my teeth.
That’s my first concern.
And how many pamphlets can I really keep?
They should hand out something to eat.
And I lug love with me for the sake of Saint Pete.
I lug love with me for the sake of Saint Pete.

Like a rich man with a worm,
fishing pole strapped to himself.
No matter how much I earn,
I’ve got to sit in a lake.
They say it’s for my own health.
And I lug love with me for the sake of Saint Pete.
I lug love with me for the sake of Saint Pete.

I am not considerate at all,
not living for Joe nor John nor Paul.
As we crawl out of bathroom stalls, embarrassed and all,
I lug love with me for the sake of Saint Pete.
I lug love with me for the sake of Saint Pete.

Yesterday at one distinct point I said “Stop, I want to give up.” 
But then everything that happened made up a clear voice.
It said, “Shut up, get up, shut up, get up, shut up, get up.
Shut up, get up, get up!”
Now love lugs me for the sake of of Saint Pete.
Now love lugs me for the sake of of Saint Pete.
I said “Damn it all!” but only angel choirs whistled through my teeth.
Now love lugs me for the sake of of Saint Pete.
Now love lugs me for the sake of of Saint Pete.
