Fatima Mansions - 13th Century Boy lyrics

Let the dark ages begin...now! You don't live the way you should You're not chaste or wise or good Oh no, when you're human I wait for you, my queen I keep myself ready clean like my maker--against nature I needn't worry about all the wars out there The price of fish and all the ineffective hygiene [Chorus] You are the reason why I've reached perfection You are the reason why I try to tend this fertile void I'm a 13th century boy These are heroic times So thumb your nose at years gone by Be hardened, we're a legend Now love keeps the country green I know because I've seen the pictures In this week's scriptures All I know is that I feel you coming near All you need know is that your (prophet elector) is waiting [Chorus] You are the reason why I live forever You are the reason why I learned to love the void Oh, I'm a 13th century boy Oh, I'm a New Dark Ages boy I'm a 13th century boy
