oh i know a girl
oh i
just fourteen
and wise as God
oh but this girl
she has been poisoned
as the cancer grows
inside of her
and i say God
i dont believe
you are forgiving
or you are holy
infact i'd rather say God
you are a mean
inconsiderate spirit
to let this girl sing down
oh but the girl
now she is done
and the deed is done
and the girl is gone
oh you may find your religion
you may find your attraction to the holy one
but not for me no
and you may find your hope
and you may find your faith
in some faint God
but i wont go
[scatting]

oh no oh my babe
oh wont you let her grow
oh she just starts to flower
like a woman should
and then she's is poisoned
and left to die
oh and i'm leaving hey
I'll never know
i can have no faith in something other than this world
'cause i've been cheating
oh but dear dear girl
and the deed is done
and the girl is gone
[scatting]

hey
very superstitious
the writing on the wall
very superstitious
the writing on the wall
and you know God
ah you know God
ah you know God
oh this deaf dumb and blind God
he sure plays a mean pinball
throw it all
oh you don't
