St. Teresa, I heard you’re coming to town Your little foot steps made the sweetest sound You’ve come to put me down, come to put me down Down down down
Mother, is it ok if I call you ma? Owen walked away and broke the law Standin’ on the bridge, feeling like falling Would you pray for me, mommy
St. Teresa, have mercy on my soul The good must die young That’s why I’m getting so old Then come to put me down, come to put me down
Mother, is it ok if I call you ma? Owen walked away and broke the law Standin’ on the bridge, feeling like falling Would you pray for me, mommy
I was never good at confession Never really that good and I spanned it all Cause they don’t want me hanging around the mission Singing hallelujah, singing hallelujah-jah-jah St. Theresa, could I kiss your skin? Come a little closer to this hell I’m living in And when they put me down, when they put me down
Mother, is it ok if I call you ma? Owen walked away and broke the law Standin’ on the bridge, feeling like falling Would you pray for me, mommy
