The Fiery Furnaces - Staring at the Steeple lyrics

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 and 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 by penny by penny by penny Now 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 and the other keeps a pistol 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 I'm going to make it up for you The days are getting darker and I'm all alone We're practically married, no but you're never at home 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 and the other keeps a pistol
