Marry Me

from Immorality by Dr. Lindyke

about

Dave writes: this is done seriously. I had a hard time coming up with a tune that struck the right balance between energy and “attitude.” In writing it I thought quite a bit about a friend who's living in Texas with his “significant other”. If you gave them the chance, they'd get married, too.

lyrics

LYRICS
-----------

I hate like the dickens to complain
But these laws drive me insane
You’ll wed vandals and vagrants all the same
Fundamental thought be damned
I'm just like any other man
So forgive me if I just don't play that game.

I thought that from. The. Start.
You were willing to take. My. Part
It seemed all doomed to failure
Until I saw your shooting star

Come on, won’t you marry me
You’re a man of the cloth and your word
And you surely know that I believe
So why don’t you just marry me?

I’m in debt to vermin indeed
I’ll get down upon my knees
I forgive all the folks who may criticize
The closet is a place to hide
Only for the very weak
I mean to hold my head up high
When I’m a-walking down the street

Come on, won’t you marry me
You’re a man of the cloth and your word
And you surely know that I believe
So why don’t you just marry me?

I don’t claim to be. That. Smart.
But you knew right from. The. Start
The courts would rule against me
Once again I’m out of my league

Come on, won’t you marry me
You’re a man of the cloth and your word
And you surely know that I believe
So why don’t you just marry me
Father, why don't you just marry me?
