The Fiery Furnaces lyrics : "Staring at the steeple"

You followed me to Manchester
To meet the guy who says my name
You heard him say my name

You heard him say my name
And now you gotta know where he
stands from

Inside a booth or behind a desk
Or on his own two feet
Now we're gonna sit down,

Sit down face to face

I'm staring at the steeple, I'm staring

at the steeple
I wonder who's preaching
They say it's two women in there

They say one wears a robe,
One wears a crystal
One keeps time,

The other keeps a pistol

He sent me a check for a thousand

dollars
I thought it was a gift
But boy was I wrong

Now I'm supposed to go and cash
his check
And give it out dollar at a time

Hand it out penny by penny, penny
by penny


If I can't help you nobody can
If you can't talk to me, who can you
turn to?

If you don't make up your mind now
I'm going to make it up for you
The days are getting darker and I'm

all alone
We're practically married but no you're
never at home
