Seven Songtext
Pride had Faith on the road
Then they walked for a while
'Til they sussed Hope and Lust
Who winked at Faith and smiled
Though Lust Faith had always hated
Pride held Hope and soon was sated
So Gluttony and Sloth were born
Of Faith and Hope's desire
In the froth of Pride their sire
The barbarity is Charity is wet nurse to both
In prosperity a verity loathed

As we search and search
But do not find
Some kind of heaven
Seven

When the seventh surgeon kissed her
And enhanced her
Then my well missed sister
Was burgeoning with cancer
The transcendentalist had shown her the answer
You're never alone
When you're a topless dancer

And inside we fight
What we hide from sight
All is equable in God's own eyes
Seven wrong and seven right
Wrath came upon Fortitude in the flowers
Prudence spied from the path
While Fortitude coaxed and mewed for hours
Then to Temperance his wife's dismay
Wrath quaffed Greed and Envy's cunning
Offering a cocktail tray
Now Wrath subdued Envy with Green raped Fortitude
'Til Justice descended her tower and spoke
She Wrath awoke and held Wrath's coat
While Wrath slit both their throats

Seven sisters smoking marijuana mexicana
In their duenna's absence, listening to Madonna
With their pasha distant subsistent on bananas
Even glister in their visitless zenana

Seven

Seven days and seven nights
Seven brothers seven kites
Flown on seven testing flights
Seven days the sun shone bright
Seven nights by candlelight
Seven brothers seven kites
Flown into the seventh night
