Naked on the toilet with a toothbrush in his mouth
When he suddently acquired an overwhelming sense of doubt
Every single piece of baggage he'd been holding on his back
Was beginning to dig in and his back began to crack
And when he finally woke up he found that he had been breaking down
Little body little soul little shrapnel on the ground
And so he started to examine from the clumsy to the cute from the fat fat cat to the death still chute
From the fat still cat to the death still chute
Oh earthly pleasure ring out from the rigors from the world
Earthly pleasure bring out from teh caverns of my soul
And suddently he found himself in 1822
And he was in another body in a heavy sort of suit
He was surrounded but he'd started making plans
When they called to him son cock your gun
So he did as all the others had already done
He put his finger on the trigger and he got him some
Although he don't like to admit it
It was sensual and pure
And he changed that day
Though he can't be sure
If its the sickness or the cure
Earthly pleasure ring out from the rigors of this role
Earthly pleasure ring out from the caverns of my soul
So there he was in front of her devine simplicity
And she was speaking esparanto and drinking ginger tea
When she inqured about his reason for his visit here today
Well he just said no reason and I really sholdn't stay
And he thought that she would think that he was some kind of freak
And that he'd go about the grind and that he wouldn't last a week
But she didn't she just sighed and uttered softly with a smile
Sit down dear child what's on your mind
So he frantically described to her the kingdom and defeat
As she continued with her manicure and poured a cup of tea
As he recounted tales of misery and suffering and pain
She was yawning at the ceiling so he had to up his game
The only thing that your children cherish is to move up in the ranks
Lucifer is in our corner Bealzabub is in our banks
And if you don't cooperate with us we'll hound us till you're dead
So she did him a wish and let him write it on her head
And when he read it out to her this is all it said
Earthly pleasure ring out from the rigors of this role
Earthly pleasure ring out from the caverns of my soul
Now i truly understand that i don't understand a thing
So let this earthly pleasure sing
Earthly pleasure
Pleasure
