I had a vision that Mary of Magdalene saw the future that awaits us
Just before Good Friday eve
Figured the wages of salvation were a little too steep
Said no one's fucking with my baby
Lord and got armed to the teeth
Cleaning up
Cleaning up
Clean up
She cleans up
What is the one about the female alien
Scarlet drives the Scottish countryside inside of a white van
Oh, I dreamt about it last night
And it did my whole day in
Under the something, man, I'm never gonna touch that shit again
Cleaning up
Cleaning up
She cleans up
Cleaning up
I know just how this thing ends
Hallelujah women may have me confused with him
Oh no, I get just how this thing ends
Hallelujah baby
I know who butters my bread
When was the accident
Well I presume you mean
The condition of the silk kimono that didn't come cheap
Now did you sit down at the crime scene
Just don't look between your knees
Man, it's certainly a look
Did she at least get the movie
Cleaning up
Cleaning up
She cleans up
Cleaning up
Use your discretion so I don't have to use mine
I spent 100 bucks on gas baby
Let's just have a good time
How do you atone for your son
Now the rabbit's got the gun
She ain't joining you for dinner
Been on the menu too long
Cleaning up
Cleaning up
She cleans up
Cleaning up
I know just how this thing ends
Hallelujah guess we gave the karmic wheel a spin
I know just how this thing ends
The aggrieved becomes aggressor
And we do it all again
Take it from a demon
Who can say I've never said
Take it from a demon
That the devil don't protect his friends
Take it from a demon
He'll never work in this town again
Take it from a demon
He'll make sure an angel goes down next
I know just how this thing ends
The misogynists daughter made him rethink what he said
I know just how this thing ends
She is trouble reconciling pops with the things that she read
I know just how this thing ends
100 billion babies born every millennium
I know just how this thing ends
Man, I hope nobody messes with the wrong rejected men
I know just how this thing ends
Sure your politics are perfect with a gun aimed at your head
I know just how this thing ends
It's a good thing God gave us someone on whom we can depend to clean up

Heard him interviewed on NPR last week. Interesting guy.

William! I implore you, don't be bleeping cuss words! How disheartening! What in the world? I am shocked and really disappointed! I like this song, the whole album is really good.

Wait, did RP just bleep the f-bomb in the first verse? Unprecedented. Unless that's how RP received the cut. Interesting.
I like Father John Misty and love RP incorporating new music but the "Fuck" in this song is so loud and clear, it definitely raised some parents eyebrows upon hearing in my orthodontic office.

I love how he references the movie Under the Skin with Scarlett Johansen. That is one creeeepy movie, man!

hard for me to not move with that groove! 
Love this! So Cakelike

Nice. I'm hearing a bit of Cake going on here

I like this
This is just so fucking weirdly cool that I can't stop listening to it.

Kewl!
I find it interesting that RP no longer feels the need to censor out profanities, Does this mean that we can look forward to Steven Wilson's "Self" being played without that irritating edit? Or has this one just fallen through the crack?
Either way, this is a good tune.

Not a big fan of FJM, but this track totally works! Or maybe more of his stuff is like this and I need to go deeper..?
This guy has it.
Zowie!! Just downloaded the record. Thanks again RP!!

More Father John Misty, please. His earlier albums also deserve to be played here - particularly Pure Comedy.
Has this album been released in the future and brought back in a time machine?
