I am an old man, and blind
And the fruit of my loins,
and delight of my eyes, Tobias
is setting off to find a rumour that just might, restore my sight
Raphael, bright angel, he's my only son,
so stay close by him
Ooo, bright angel, protect him from
Tears and blood and indescretion
Fear and love, and the whore that beckons
and the pride of doing well, and the wisdom to tell
No surprize, he found a young lady
whose five husbands all died
on their wedding nights
And number six, Tobias is waiting
For the demon to slay him;
Lord God, don't betray him
(chorus)
The angel whispered to him
something about fish gall burning in the night
It just might subdue him,
and just as he said, the demon fled
And they made love
with the scent of saliva and sweat and semen
and the heart-hammered passion, driving them on
(chorus)
