Saint Shell

She rides the river to her home every midday at noon
To open up her chakras and practice tantric asanas
Looking up to the twilight, Saint Shell sighs at the moon
Wistful and serene, she's a beautiful blue-eyed Madonna

Sometimes she'll end her evening with a glass of red wine
Brilliantly atypical, reading a book on the metaphysical
Touching base on My Space with each friend in due time
Not adding me to her friend list was so damn allegorical!

Oh well, Saint Shell – No, don't you pray for me
Saint Shell - Don't you try to preserve me
Saint Shell - Don't you help, save, comfort or defend me
She believes we're all heavenly, everyone being energy
Once in a while, I'll see her quizzical smile in my memory
< >

I could tell you how much I love her
If you gave me some more time to tell
You see, I know that girl's going to heaven
'Cause I'm the one who put her through hell

Don't feel too flattered, this isn't fascination
Since I never said I knew exactly who you are
It's a comedy of errors without an explanation
That caused me to fall in love with your star
< >

Oh well, Saint Shell – No, don't you pray for me
Saint Shell - Don't you try to preserve me
Saint Shell - Don't you help, save, comfort or defend me
How I loved to be with her, back when we were friends
Why'd I try to make her more and make the story end?

Your strong will and intuition always come into play
As the "unattainable goddess," you go about your day
So fearless, how you find your footsteps, all along the way
You're in my heart, you're in my mind, forever to stay

I'd love a little enlightenment, if you'd be so kind
A quantum theory paradigm designed to expand my mind
I could use some kind of revelation right about now
A bright ray of light from you to see me through somehow
< >

Oh well, Saint Shell – No, don't you pray for me
Saint Shell - Don't you try to preserve me
Saint Shell - Don't you help, save, comfort or defend me
Will you heal this sad sinner's smashed and broken heart?
Or don't you know that I'm still in love with you?
