Seven Lyrics - Singles - Copyright

Pride had Faith on the road, then they walked for awhile 

'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 

As 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 of a cocktail tray 

Now Wrath subdued Envy with Greed 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 

Ever glister in their visitless zenana 

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
