lyrics

VERSE:
An early evening drunk once said to me
I knew a saint way back in '63
She had a message to spread
Gave up her things and shaved her head

VERSE:
She wandered through these dirty streets
Preaching good will to all that she would meet
And yet she lived in sadness
She had her method and her madness

CHORUS:
She must be a saint, she must be a martyr
an angel of mercy till the end
The saint, and the martyr, saving souls

VERSE:
Fueled by the public's insanity
Denouncing conveniences and vanity
She removed herself from modern living
Dreamt of barren landscapes, cold and unforgiving

CHORUS:
She must be a saint, she must be a martyr
an angel of mercy till the end
The saint, and the martyr, saving souls

VERSE:
She sought to tell the tale of her own death
Neither to shock or awe nor impress
She set the stage in Union Square
Dragged the crowds into her despair

She must be a saint, she must be a martyr
an angel of mercy till the end
The saint, and the martyr, saving souls

She must a our saint, and she will take us farther
Start a new chapter of our lives
The saint, and the martyr
The saint, and the martyr
The saint, and the martyr, saving souls
