Regal dream and prim Madonna,
Angel queen of Tijuana,
Mother earth and virgin saint,
Succour nurse, and sufferer gate,
Gaudy beauty's hocus-pocus,
Guadeloupe's theotokos,
For heathens, scribes, enraptured daughters,
A neon bride on dashboard alters.
Sweet mother of God,
What's got into you, boy?
Oh, for the love of God,
What's got into you boy?
Sweet mother of God,
You ponder, you wander, you cling and you lean,
While she's bruising you, using you, seldom refusing you.
Monumental apparition,
Ornamental grave beautician,
Satirized and patronised,
Undersized and glamorised,
Matriarchal wisdom seat,
Sentimental paraclete,
Statuesque forlorn pieta,
Eschewed, suppressed, and scorned contessa.
Sweet mother of God,
What's got into you, boy?
Oh, for the love of God,
What's got into you boy?
Sweet mother of God,
You ponder, you wander, you cling and you lean,
While she's bruising you, using you, seldom refusing you.
Cosa Nostra placebo,
Gloriasa domino,
Mediatrix bella donna,
Dominicus della strada,
Limbo low e' la cañada,
Tuck & roll lobla limbada,
Coredemptrix mediation,
Genuflexix obligation,
Latria at Fatima,
Oblida basilica,
Gratia plena benedicta,
Adolescentia byzantina.
Sweet mother of God,
What's got into you, boy?
Oh, for the love of God,
What's got into you boy?
Sweet mother of God,
You ponder, you wander, you cling and you lean,
While she's bruising you, using you, seldom refusing you.
Isn't it wild?
Mother and child, meek and the mild, never defiled,
Fruit of the womb, out of the tomb, bride and the groom, sun and the moon,
Altar queen wonder, suffering lover, covering buffer, hovering mother,
Blessing and testing, confessing and pressing,
Inerrant, transparent, domestic, majestic,
Idyllic, angelic, filling, dispelling,
Foretelling, compelling, instilling, indwelling,
Favouring, labouring, savouring, flavouring,
Healing us, sealing us, stealing us, leading us,
Ponder her, honour her, magistrate, venerate,
Bond to her, long for her, sing to her, cling to her,
...And I'm not so sure that anything's wrong with her.
