This is called "The Day
Zimmer Lost Religion."

00:00:08.590 --> 00:00:10.900 align:middle line:84%
This is not advice
incidentally, this

00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:12.025 align:middle line:90%
is something that happened.

00:00:12.025 --> 00:00:14.670 align:middle line:90%


00:00:14.670 --> 00:00:18.540 align:middle line:84%
"The first Sunday I
missed mass on purpose,

00:00:18.540 --> 00:00:21.330 align:middle line:84%
I waited all day for
Christ to climb down

00:00:21.330 --> 00:00:23.760 align:middle line:84%
like a wiry flyweight
from the cross

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.150 align:middle line:84%
and clubbed me on
my irreverent teeth.

00:00:27.150 --> 00:00:30.330 align:middle line:84%
To wade into my
blasphemous gut and drop me

00:00:30.330 --> 00:00:34.350 align:middle line:84%
like a red hot thurible, the
devil roaring in reserved seats

00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:37.590 align:middle line:90%
until he got the hiccups.

00:00:37.590 --> 00:00:40.440 align:middle line:84%
It was a long cold
wave from the old days

00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:45.600 align:middle line:84%
when cassocked and surpliced, I
mumbled Latin at the old priest

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.450 align:middle line:90%
and rang his obscure bell.

00:00:48.450 --> 00:00:50.400 align:middle line:84%
A long way from
the dirty wind that

00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:54.630 align:middle line:84%
blew the soot like venial sins
across the schoolyard where

00:00:54.630 --> 00:00:58.440 align:middle line:84%
God reigned as a threatening
one eyed triangle high

00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:01.710 align:middle line:90%
in the fleecy sky.

00:01:01.710 --> 00:01:04.410 align:middle line:84%
The first Sunday I
missed mass on purpose,

00:01:04.410 --> 00:01:08.340 align:middle line:84%
I waited all day for Christ to
climb down like the playground

00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:11.760 align:middle line:84%
bully, the cuts and mice
upon his face agleam

00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.810 align:middle line:84%
and pound me till my
irreligious tongue hung out.

00:01:15.810 --> 00:01:20.700 align:middle line:84%
But of course he never came
knowing that I was grown up

00:01:20.700 --> 00:01:21.945 align:middle line:90%
and ready for him now."

00:01:21.945 --> 00:01:25.440 align:middle line:90%


00:01:25.440 --> 00:01:27.440 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.
