this is how i hear it... only slight changes, makes a bit more sense though.
For 20 years I’ve held this pulpit
Preached the word, served the Eucharist
Gained the trust of the townsfolk
Made every football game
Never missed a social
Last week a boy I taught theology
Came back into town with a new ideology
Those feelings I tucked away
Threading the sanctuary
A lifetime of burning culminated
In one innocent forbidden touch
I know this is wrong, cause I’m told this is wrong
A new recruit, 25 years old
He joined the habit with a chip on his shoulder
Some nights he’d proclaim his preference
But only flat back drunk on a bottle of Jameson
When all those nights, we stayed up, the two of us
Singing our lives, just the two of us
We were hiding in the dark, I fell asleep by his side
We woke to the chimes and the bells of the steeple and ran of to supper at once
They cant know what we’ve done, our whole world would come undone
You’ll never live this down (repeated)
They’re gonna find you out
And when they find you out
They’re gonna drag you out
Don’t let them find you
I know this is wrong, cause we’re told this is wrong
A lifetime of burning culminate anymore
In one innocent forbidden touch
I know this is wrong, cause we’re told this is wrong
