[00:00.276]Catholic Boy (From"Basketball Diaries" Soundtrack) - Jim Carroll
[00:01.642]Lyrics by：Jim Carroll
[00:02.497]Composed by：Jim Carroll
[00:03.161]Produced by：Brett Eliason
[00:07.937]I was born in a pool
[00:09.313]They made my mother stand
[00:11.177]And I spat on that surgeon
[00:12.721]And his trembling hand
[00:14.649]When I felt the light
[00:16.281]I was worse than bored
[00:17.817]I stole the doctor's scalpel
[00:19.769]And I slit the cord
[00:22.129]I was a Catholic boy
[00:24.392]I was a deep deep pain
[00:27.184]Not through joy
[00:31.641]I was two months early
[00:33.065]They put me under glass
[00:34.649]I screamed and cursed at children
[00:36.537]When the nurses passed
[00:38.289]Was convicted of theft
[00:40.113]When I slipped from the womb
[00:41.648]They led me straight from my mother
[00:43.337]To a cell in the Tombs
[00:45.865]I was a Catholic boy
[00:48.793]Redeemed pain
[00:50.882]Not through joy
[00:55.513]They starved me for weeks
[00:56.809]They thought they'd teach me fear
[00:58.465]I fed on cell mates' dreams
[01:00.185]It gave me fine ideas
[01:02.265]When they cut me loose
[01:03.561]The time had served me well
[01:05.393]I made allies in heaven
[01:07.615]Comrades in hell
[01:09.807]I was a Catholic child
[01:12.383]The blood ran red
[01:14.207]The blood ran wild
[01:49.752]I make angels dance and drop to their knees
[01:53.200]When I enter a church
[01:54.624]The feet of statues bleed
[01:56.376]I understand the fate of all my enemies
[01:59.936]Just like Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane
[02:04.192]I man a Catholic boy
[02:06.240]I was redeemed through pain
[02:08.968]Not through joy
[02:13.368]I watched the sweetest psalm stolen by our choir
[02:16.880]I dreamed of martyrs' bones hanging from a wire
[02:20.255]I make a contribution
[02:21.992]I get absolution
[02:23.704]I make a resolution to purify my soul
[02:28.240]But I'm a Catholic boy
[02:31.424]Redeemed through pain
[02:32.992]Not through joy
[02:35.225]They can't touch me now
[02:38.360]I got every sacrament behind me
[02:39.944]I got baptism
[02:40.592]I got communion
[02:41.712]I got penance
[02:42.760]I got extreme unction
[02:45.873]I've got confirmation
[02:48.790]I was a Catholic boy
[02:51.286]Redeemed through pain
[02:53.110]Not through joy
[02:54.446]And now
[02:55.446]I'm a Catholic man
[02:57.822]I put my tongue to the rail whenever I can
