	Story Behind the Song This Oedipal epic is made up of clips taken from messages left on the answering machine where I work. They're the excuses a guy made for his chronic absenteeism, slightly doctored. The guy's name is John, but we always referred to him as Myron. He no longer works with me, and the last I heard was that he had stolen $800 in cash from his fiance, along with her credit cards, and made for the hills to be with his beloved mother. I included the Southern preacher to act as the (un)holy torturer of Myron's conscience. This is kind of what I imagine was churning around in his melon most of the time. Did I mention he had something really weird growing on the side of his head? We think it was a nipple, or something... Lyrics Myron: Hi Mike, it's John. Mike: Yeah, what's up John? Myron: I'm actually just entering my mother. Mike: WHAT THE F**K? Myron: Something's very wrong with my mother The Preacher: That woman was so full of demons....O, LORD, LET ME GET OFF! Myron: I just don't know what to do...I'm actually just entering my mother.... Myron: I can make it in. I can make it in. Myron: We can take shifts taking care of her... Preacher: God was there, Jesus was there, and the Holy Ghost was there....O, LORD, LET ME GET OFF! Myron: I just don't know what to do... Myron: I'm actually just entering my father... The Preacher: The Devil's gonna temp-tate you! Myron: Nobody's sure yet what the hell is going on.... The Preacher: O, LORD, LET ME GET OFF! The Preacher(suddenly appearing in drag as a withered and dry spinster): Well, I'm sure not tempted to do wrong... Mike: WHAT THE F**K? The Preacher: THE DEVIL KNOWS YOUR WEAK AREA! Myron: We can take shifts taking care of her... The Preacher: O, LORD, LET ME GET OFF! Myron: One hell of a mother. One hell of a mother. The Preacher: The Devil's gonna temp-tate you! Myron: One hell of a mother. One hell of a mother. Mike: WHAT THE F**K?
