                                  [bad word] out
Virginia don't let me 
wait

You Catholic girls start much to late
                        
      
                           
But sooner or later [bad word] down to fate
-
I might as well be the one
                                 
            They showed you a statue and told you to pray
          T
hey built you a temple and locked you away 
                                                 But they never told you the price that you pay
                                         For things that you might have done...

Only the good die young
                                                                     That's what I said 
-

                                    You might have heard [bad word] with a dangerous crowd
               
                                  We ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud 
-
We might be laughing a bit too loud
                          
                            
             But that never hurt no one  [bad word] on Virginia show me a sign 
                                              Send up a signal I'll throw you the line
                                              The stained
-
glass curtain you're hiding behind
                                                                        Never lets in the sun

                                                         You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
                                                    Y

You didn't count on me

w
hen you were counting on your rosary oh oh oh 
                   They say there's a heaven for those who will wait 
                             
        Some say it's bette
r but I say it ain't
                                   
                 I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
