About Cup Runneth Over

"Cup Runneth Over is definitely about the strange balance of wanting a god or gods to follow. It’s not necessarily a Christian god or anything, but it’s that yearning for a higher power, and balancing that with gender identity and how those two are kind of at odds with each other, but also very much linked. Yeah, I think that’s what it’s about. Again, the coolest thing about music is that the song will mean something different to every person that listens to it, but I think for me it’s really about that tension." .

Cup Runneth Over Lyrics

[00:18.94] Mother Mary, come to me
[00:23.94] In my lover's room, I'm free
[00:28.21] Scripture ripped her from my arms
[00:32.95] But my girl, she means no harm
[00:38.09] Promise we'll keep mighty still
[00:42.53] Father Brian climbs our hill
[00:47.56] Asks us why we're wrapped in wool
[00:52.25] Laughing like we're wagging school
[00:56.37]
[01:01.89] My cup runneth over but I'll have another please
[01:06.52] I'll only take a lover if she walks all over me
[01:11.36] My cup runneth over but I'll have another please
[01:15.88] I'll only take a lover if she walks all over me
[01:20.65] There's seven deadly sins but somehow all I got was greed
[01:25.46] Yes, I see the warnings
[01:28.70] But I shall never heed
[01:32.51]
[01:40.77] Sit our parents down to talk
[01:45.23] Quote thy passage, state our faults
[01:49.70] If God created man for me
[01:54.87] Why am I not quite a "she"?
[01:59.65] Yet I still kneel and I still pray
[02:04.52] I still hear the willows sway
[02:09.40] I still know how spirits talk
[02:14.25] Hold my hand on all my walks
[02:18.62]
[02:23.51] My cup runneth over but I'll have another please
[02:27.87] I'll only take a lover if she walks all over me
[02:32.51] My cup runneth over but I'll have another please
[02:37.36] I'll only take a lover if she walks all over me
[02:42.18] There's seven deadly sins but somehow all I got was greed
[02:46.99] Yes, I see the warnings
[02:49.67] But I shall never (never, never)...
[02:53.54]
[02:58.60] Church bell tolls don't signal love
[03:04.63] All I hear is Christ above
[03:10.51] Taking notes on all my crimes
[03:16.51] I drink ale when God made wine
[03:25.18] Pater noster, qui es in
[03:31.50] Santificetur nomen tuum
[03:36.95] Adveniat regnum tuum
[03:43.25] Fiat voluntas tua
[03:49.75] My cup runneth over but I'll have another please
[03:54.25] I'll only take a lover if she walks all over me
[03:59.18] There's seven deadly sins but somehow all I got was greed
[04:04.02] Yes, I see the warnings
[04:06.92] But I shall never heed
[04:09.83]
