Mavis
Lyrics by Patrick Porter C. 2012

Mavis I’ve tried
To shake it in stride
But the man in the sky
Has hijacked my mind

I wake up at night
In the style of a child
I’m building a kite
That no one can fly

Halo, Jesus Hole, type up my file
Halo, Jesus Hole, it’s high time to die

Mavis I’m gone
It shouldn’t be long
I’m the catch of a Psalm
It won’t hurt at all

Just remember me
Like a leaf on a tree
Or a subba-marine
Who looked up to see

Halo, Jesus Hole, type up my file
Halo, Jesus Hole, been waiting a while
Halo, Jesus Hole, type up my file
Halo everyone watching me die
