Before The Bell Tolls

My wife told me, "man, best watch your manners" 
As I straighten out her rattlesnake skin belt 
"If you anytime touch any other woman 
you'd be finish, you know what it means" 
 
Sometime later came my brother with eight banners 
And on each of them a lady in lamb'spelt 
And said, "brother, won't you come and have some fun 
With these magdalasque Magdalenes" 
 
But I'm not just someone 
who jumps when you call him 
But I'm not just someone 
who lies like an island 
 
Somewhere upstairs in life's fountain they are kissing 
and they're dancing like they really want to die 
Then I hear their bodies tightly press the floor 
no longer young but not yet old 
 
Though it makes me smile I wonder what is missing 
So I ask my mother, "help me, where am I" 
She says, "son, I can't help you find the door 
but dress yourself, you'll catch a cold" 
 
But I'm not just someone 
who jumps when you call him 
But I'm not just someone 
who lies like an island 
 
I like everyone I'm loved by everybody 
In the army of my equals I will cross 
all the milestones of those diligent and patient 
While a joy is creeping wildly up my spine 
 
Ring them bells, reflections off my body 
Shine them lights, maybe this is it, who knows 
Make them know, this is my time and destination 
Let me have all those saries and fines
