lyrics

joey’s strutting down the street
knows everyone he meets–
from housewives to the police,
especially the hometown priest

letter jacket, undefeated,
designated student leader
big dreams burning bright
fighting off the looming night

oh joey no joey

in the church, the sacred place,
under white skirts of satin, lace–
oily unction, polished wood,
wine spilled, violent flood…

he’s just a kid, just a kid–
doesn’t know what he did,
but he knows that it’s bad
never tell mom or dad

oh joey no joey

heavy suitcase in his soul–
zipped and buried down a deep hole
it’s his fault—he’s to blame–
he’s the one because father john can’t sin

joe is staring down the street–
it’s all slabs of thick concrete
rusted rebar in his bones
deep dark, afraid and lost at home

oh joey no joey
