Sweet Jesus, I'm on fire
She has the sweetest darkest side
And when it comes into her eyes

I know iron and steel couldn't hold me
Good god I'm easy bruised
But so often a moth to her flame

And the things that she's asked me to do
Would see a senior saint forgetting his name


I have an audience with the pope
And I'm saving the world at eight
But if she says she needs me,

She says she needs me
Everybody's going to have to wait,
Uh huh


Uh huh


(Where could she be?)
Was that a minute or hour?
(Where could she be?)

She turns the minutes into days
I'm gonna kill the phone, cover the cage
And wait for the doorbell to ring


(Where could she be?)
No, she won't come running

(Where could she be?)
The world is turning at her pace
I'm gonna kill the phone, cover the cage

And wait for the doorbell to ring

I have an audience with the pope

And I'm saving the world at eight
But if she says she needs me,
She says she needs me

Everybody's going to have to wait,
Uh huh


I have an audience with the pope
And I'm saving the world at eight
But if she says she needs me,

She says she needs me
Everybody's going to have to wait,
Uh huh


Uh huh


I have an audience with the pope
And I'm saving the world at eight
But if she says she needs me,

She says she needs me
Everybody's going to have to wait,
Everybody's going to have to wait,

Uh huh
