"Nine Fives"

Percy joined the church, so they say

Percy knew a scripture for each day

Percy at one time was head boy

So to the church Percy was employed

Yes he had earned the name called "wise"

This is what all the others despised

They always said:

Maybe, if the Bible we read

Maybe we will be just like Percy

Percy would be like John, Clide and Hue

Those three gentlemen everyone knew

But they left after cleaning the pew

And to the day no one knows where to

Priest came to give Percy a task

"Percy," he said, "this is all I ask.

Please rid the world of those nine fives

Take this blessed water and leave non dry

Percy heard lots about nine five

Sex, and drugs and the music was live

Percy said:

"If all be well I'll have good tales

On how I save the nine fives from hell."

The church sent Percy on his way

Expecting his return the next day

They waited until the month's first

And by the weekend they thought the worst

People tried to keep hope alive

But they knew he'd been nabbed by nine five

He had been possess by the land

"If he cannot save then no one can."

What happened after was a blur

A faint whisper was all Percy heard

He woke like he came from a pub

With a girl on top in a bathtub

The car he had drove had gone poof

Like magic; he found it on the roof

He'd failed the task he'd been given

He even broke the car he'd driven

As he picked up wanting to leave

The party that brought him to his knees

Off in a distance, he saw Clide

And John and Hue were right by Clide's side

Percy couldn't believe his sight

All of them had escaped to nine five

He then tapped John and he awoke

Having passed out from taking a smoke

John screamed, "Hey man why you woke me?

Wait, wait, don't tell me that's you Percy!"

Percy explained:

"The Priest sent me to nine five to save.

John, how did you end up at this rave?"

Oh I get it! John then replied

They petitioned you too with that lie

Let me guess:

They gave you the blessed water

They said Go and be like the Potter

Then you started to rock and roll

And that is when you lost all control

Percy only the strong survive

And no one has survived the nine five

Sorry kid you have failed your goal

Even now nine five is in your soul

Percy shouted:

"I'm leaving and never coming back.

Screw Nine Five and that's a fact."

Percy carried off in his ride

While John went ahead and picked up Clide

Back before they had come to know

Percy was them one time ago

Back before they knew that nine five

Was where all the church boys went to die
