	Story Behind the Song I believe a young man who's endured a mean bastard of a father and a mean bastard of a war will have little recourse but to distrust "similar" institutions. The Church is both the figure of a parent and the emblem of the eternal war between good and evil: so naturally our young man is not going to feel too well-disposed to it! Lyrics [chorus:] No, I ain't going back there. No priest gonna tell me what I already know. If I want to talk to the Almighty, I'll say a prayer. If I want to talk to the Devil, I know where to go. I seen bliss in the mist over faraway swamps. I seen rapture in the eyes of a dying bird. I heard the trump when you told me your name, Loretta. So who says I need to hear the Word? [chorus] I been where no man on earth has been, And that's in the deeps of your womb. I taste the host on my tongue when we kiss, Loretta. I was born with the word writ clear on my tomb. [chorus] I sleep in the night, and I wake in the day. I keep my eyes open and see what I must. The devil distracts me some, but you keep me straight, Loretta. You whisper the Word to the ears of my lust. [chorus]
