Was shown in a freakshow early on.
And drunk from small brown bottles since I was so long.


Cause I'm a Hip Priest
Cause I'm a Hip Priest
People only need me when they're down and gone to seed.
Cause I'm a Hip Priest.
Cause I'm a Hip Priest.


It's appreciation half won.
And they hate their allegiance to hip preacher one.

All the young groups know

I was as clean as a packet of chocolate treats.
