Staring At The Steeple Lyrics - I'm Going Away - The Fiery Furnaces

You followed me to Manchester 

To meet the guy who says my name 

You heard him say my name 

You heard him say my name 

And now you gotta know where he stands from 

Inside a booth or behind a desk or on his own two feet 

Now we're gonna sit down, sit down face to face 

I'm staring at the steeple 

I'm staring at the steeple 

I wonder who's preaching 

They say it's two women in there 

They say one wears a robe, one wears a crystal 

One keeps time and the other keeps a pistol 

He sent me a check for a thousand dollars 

I thought it was a gift but boy, was I wrong 

Now I'm supposed to go and cash his check 

And give it out dollar at a time 

Hand it out penny by penny by penny by penny by penny 

Now I'm staring at the steeple 

I'm staring at the steeple 

I wonder who's preaching 

They say it's two women in there 

They say one wears a robe, one wears a crystal 

One keeps time and the other keeps a pistol 

If I can't help you nobody can 

If you can't talk to me who can you turn to? 

If you don't make up your mind I'm going to make it up for you 

The days are getting darker and I'm all alone 

We're practically married, no but you're never at home 

I'm staring at the steeple 

I'm staring at the steeple 

I wonder who's preaching 

They say it's two women in there 

They say one wears a robe, one wears a crystal 

One keeps time and the other keeps a pistol
