about

Latin from Catullus

lyrics

Trading leaves me forks and dimes
And kissing mouths with poor Catullae
It makes a garden, but not
The garden of Gethsemene
I’m an Ovid flower!

O! Catullae-la, brother, dear
They say it’s wrong how I hold you near
But you’re my Jesus
You’re just another Jesus
Blah, blah, blah

Even if I don’t hit it—quid est?
Quid morarsis emori?—
I don’t make it better.

And he’ll burn Christians all damn day
He spits in dirt and makes date
And I say, “Ovid—who did you create?
Who do you compare with?
Is it Catullae-la la la la?”

Even if I don’t hit it—quid est?
Quid morarsis emori?—
I don’t make it better.
