Monday morning, I just got home 
Six and the birds are singing 
I need a drink and my clothes are wet 
Ooh, and my ears are still ringing 
There's a rock and roll singer boppin' on the TV 
He used to be a preacher, but now he sings in a major key 
 
Amended his decision to the new religion 
 
Deserted   Rock and roll to try to save his soul
