CATHOLIC BOY (Jim Carroll - "Basketball Diaries" soundtrack)
[00:07.00]I was born in a pool
[00:09.00]Left in my mother's stand
[00:11.00]I spat at that surgeon and his tremblin' hand
[00:14.00]When I felt for life, I was the nursery boy
[00:17.00]I stole the doctors scalpel and I slit the cord...
[00:22.00]I was a Catholic boy...
[00:24.00]I was redeemed through pain, not through joy...
[00:31.00]I was two months early, they put me under glass
[00:34.00]I screamed and cursed at children when the nurses passed
[00:38.00]Was convicted of theft as I slid from the womb
[00:41.00]They led me straight from my stroller to a cell in the tombs...
[00:45.00]I was a Catholic boy...
[00:48.00]Redeemed through pain, not through joy...
[00:55.00]They starved me for weeks, they thought they'd teach me fear
[00:58.00]I fed on cell-mates trees, it gave me flyin' ideas
[01:02.00]When they cut me loose, the time it served you well
[01:05.00]I made allies in Heaven, comrades in Hell
[01:09.00]I was a Catholic child...
[01:12.00]With the grand red...the grand wild...
[01:49.00]I make angels dance and drop to their knees
[01:52.00]When I enter a church the feet of statue bleed
[01:56.00]I understand the faith of all my enemies
[01:59.00]With that Christ and the God, it's never me...
[02:03.00]I'm a Catholic boy...
[02:05.00]I was redeemed through pain and not through joy...
[02:13.00]I watched His sweetest psalms stolen by the choir
[02:16.00]I dreamed of all his bones hangin' from a wire
[02:20.00]I take the contribution, I get absolution
[02:23.00]I make the resolution to verify my soul...
[02:27.00]I'm a Catholic boy...
[02:31.00]Redeemed through pain, not through joy...
[02:34.00]And they can't touch me now, I got every size of the...
[02:39.00]They got Baptism, I got Penance
[02:41.00]I got Communion, I got extreme...
[02:44.00]Man...I got Confirmation...
[02:48.00]I was a Catholic boy...
[02:50.00]Redeemed through pain and not through joy...
[02:54.00]And now, I'm a Catholic man...
[02:57.00]I put my tongue to the rail whenever I can...
