[Verse 1]
And, though the solitudes have won, I cannot begin to crave you
Please spring us, Madeline, from these rusted jails of lust we live in— I'm living in
I will find you, Lord, in the classified loves of three good women
You are familiar with these terms, I trust
Don't you mind, our children go unseen to us
The popular singers, they're mean to us
You'll find...

[Chorus]
There's joy in being barred from the temple
Barred from the temple

There's joy in being barred from the temple

[Verse 2]
And, though the graces sing our praise in countless catchy ways

I will fund you, Lord, through the classified loves of three good women
You are familiar with these terms, I trust
Don't you find such freedoms go unseen to us
The popular singers, they'll sing to us in time
Of joys and being barred from the temple
[Verse 3]
And, though the solitudes have won, I cannot begin to crave you
Please spring us, Madeline, from these dusty tales of lust we live in; I'm giving in
I will find you, Lord, in the calcified loves of three good women
You are familiar with these terms, I trust
Don't you mind, our children go unseen to us
The popular singers they'll sing to us

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
There's joy in being...
