How a Resurrection Really Feels Lyrics
Her parents named her Halleluiah, the kids all called her Holly.
If she scared you then she's sorry. She's been stranded at these parties. These parties they start lovely but they get druggy and they get ugly and they get bloody. The priest just kinda laughed. The deacon caught a draft. She crashed into the Easter Mass with her hair done up in broken glass. She was limping left on broken heels. When she said Father can I tell your congregation how a resurrection really feels? Holly was a hoodrat. Now you finally know that. She's been disappeared for years. Today she finally came back. She said: St. Louis had enslaved me. I guess Santa ana saved me. St. Peter had me on the queue. The St. Paul Saints they waved me though. I was all wrapped up in some video booth. When I heard her say I love you too. She said I've laid beneath my lovers but i've never gotten laid. Some nights she felt protected. Some nights she felt afraid. She spent half last winter just trying to get paid. From some guy she'd originally thought to be her savior. They wrote her name in magic marks. On stop signs and subway cars. They got a mural up on East 13th. That said Halleluiah rest in peace. Halleluiah was a hoodrat. And now you finally know that. She's been disappeared for years. Today she finally came back. Walk on back. Walk on back. She said don't turn me on again. I'd probably just go and get myself all gone again. Holly was a sexy mess. She looked strung out but experienced. So we all got kind of curious.

"They got a mural up on East 13th / That said Halleluiah rest in peace." adds to the "Father can I tell your congregation how a resurrection really feels?" line nicely. She was "gone" now she's come back to her previous wholesome, positive life, resurrected in a sense.
For some reason I like the last 3 lines as well. "Holly was a sexy mess / She looked strung out but experienced / So we all got kind of curious." Kinda implies there's more to the story than what we were told. A good way to end the album, no?

The song tells of Holly the hoodrat, finally getting what she wanted. She suffers a near death experience and realizes that there is more to life than getting high and sleeping around. She says that she's laid beneath her lovers but never gotten laid. Meaning that she's had a lot of sex, but never actually felt any sense of love involved.
The preist at her church and the deacon laugh at her, writing her off as a lost cause until she comes back clean, sober, and pure. She's a classic example of the underdog. A beautiful disaster. Nobody cared or wanted her to pull through except for the person who is telling all of the stories. (we can assume it's Creg.)
And through all she's endured and all the things she's seen, she chooses to live clean. And at the end she is telling people to stay away from her with bad influeces, because she doesn't want to get turned on to it all again.
And seperation sunday ends happily ever after. :)
