Lyrics
I had a vision that Mary of Magdalene
Saw the future that awaits us just before Good Friday eve
Figured the wages of salvation were a little too steep
Said no one's fucking with my baby
Lord, and got armed to the teeth
Cleaning up
Cleaning up
Clean up
She cleans up
What is the one about the female alien
Scarlett drives the Scottish countryside inside of a white van
Oh, I dreamt about it last night, and it did my whole day in
Undid something man, I'm never gonna touch that shit again
Cleaning up
Clеaning up
She cleans up
Cleaning up
I know just how this thing еnds
Hallelujah, women, they got me confused with him, oh no
I get just how this thing ends
Hallelujah, baby, I know who butters my bread
"When was the accident?", well, I presume you mean
The condition of the silk kimono that didn't come cheap
Now, did you sit down in a crime scene?
Just don't look between your knees
Man, it's certainly a look, did she at least get the movie?
Cleaning up
Cleaning up
She cleans up
Cleaning up
Use your discretion, so I don't have to use mine
I spent a hundred bucks on gas, baby, let's just have a good time
How do you atone for your son now the rabbit's got the gun?
She ain't joining you for dinner, been on the menu too long
Cleaning up
Cleaning up
She cleans up
Cleaning up
I know just how this thing ends
Hallelujah, guess we gave the karmic wheel a spin, oh yeah
I know just how this thing ends
The aggrieved becomes aggressor and we do it all again
Take it from a demon who can say I've never said
Take it from a demon that the devil don't protect his friends
Take it from a demon, he'll never work in this town again
Take it from a demon, he'll make sure an angel goes down next
I know just how this thing ends
The misogynist's daughter made him rethink what he said
I know just how this thing ends
She has trouble reconciling pops with the things that she read
I know just how this thing ends
Hundred billion babies born every millennium, oh no
I know just how this thing ends
Man, I hope nobody messes with the wrong rejected men, oh
I know just how this thing ends
Sure your politics are perfect with the gun against your head
I know just how this thing ends
It's a good thing God gave us someone on whom we can depend to
Clean up
