Oh holy
We adore thee          
You bring life itself from your love

Helen
I sing a song of myself
Sing a song of love I sing
From the bottom of my heart
Sing to you dear friend
Find it soothing and then
Find your way back home
Mmm home

Bo
Where is Ricky!?
Where’s my buddy Ricky!?

Gaylord
Somebody stop that man!

Ricky
Bo, is that you!?

Bo
You hold it right there mister!
Get away from Ricky with that knife!

Gaylord
Now hold on!

Helen
Ah!

Ricky
Helen! Oh Helen!

Gaylord
You filthy animal look at what you’ve done!
Bloody my sanctuary with your lust and your gun
Helen lies dying because of your wicked ways
As judge and jury I will make you pay!  

Ricky
No, no, no, you’ve got it all wrong
I’m a simple man who helped her sing her song

Gaylord
Now there’s no Helen ‘cause she listened to your lie
Only I have the power whether you live or die

Ricky
My god, I’m begging you!

Gaylord
We won’t be digging our hands in the dirt
Embracing imperfection you’re such a pervert
For we, the holiest of this land
Find you evil and therefore damned
And there’s but one way that justice be done        
And it is this…                                                        

Die you evil beast!
Squirm in your filth!

Oh holy
We adore thee
You bring life itself
From your love

Golden scalpel 
Hands divine
My god-sent power
Saves his soul
