The holy man's coming
Is knocking on my door
Don't let him in
I committed no sin
I don't need no help at all
The holy man's coming
Stepped into my room
Turned on the light
In the middle of the night
He said god will see me soon
Telling me that heaven waits
And this is where I'll go
The doctor said I will not die
There's something I don't know
Too young to die
Don't ask me why
The holy man's coming
The holy man's coming
Somebody better help me
The holy man's coming
Standing by my bed
Seems in a hurry
Don't tell me not to worry
I must back closer to death
The holy man's coming
Can anybody hear?
He stinks of gin
I didn't ask him in
Somebody get him out of here
He put his hands upon my head
The time has come he said
I hate to break the news
He's a bit confused
I'm not quite ready yet
He's got a cross in his hand
I don't understand
The holy man's coming
(The holy man's coming)
Somebody better help me
The holy man's coming
Standing by my bed
Seems in a hurry
Don't tell me not to worry
I must back closer to death
Said I won't make it through the night
Said I won't see the morning light
There's a man in the next room worse than me
So what the hell's he doing in here with me
The holy man's coming
Praying for my soul
I tried to let him know
He can have it if he'll go
And leave me alone
The holy man's coming
Kneeling by my bed
The holy man's coming
Don't tell me not to worry
I must back closer to death
Ah... The holy man is coming
Ah... The holy man...
Ah... The holy man is coming
Ah... The holy man...
Ah... The holy man is coming
Ah... The holy man...
Ah... The holy man is coming
Ah... The holy man...
