Just before Good Friday eve
Figured the wages of salvation were a little too steep
Said no one's fucking with my baby
Lord and got armed to the teeth
Cleaning up
Cleaning up
Clean up
She cleans up
What is the one about the female alien
Scarlet drives the Scottish countryside inside of a white van
Oh, I dreamt about it last night
And it did my whole day in
Under the something, man, I'm never gonna touch that shit again
Cleaning up
Cleaning up
She cleans up
Cleaning up
I know just how this thing ends
Hallelujah women may have me confused with him
Oh no, I get just how this thing ends
Hallelujah baby
I know who butters my bread
When was the accident
Well I presume you mean
The condition of the silk kimono that didn't come cheap
Now did you sit down at the crime scene
Just don't look between your knees
Man, it's certainly a look
Did she at least get the movie
Cleaning up
Cleaning up
She cleans up
Cleaning up
Use your discretion so I don't have to use mine
I spent 100 bucks on gas baby
Let's just have a good time
How do you atone for your son
Now the rabbit's got the gun
She ain't joining you for dinner
Been on the menu too long
Cleaning up
Cleaning up
She cleans up
Cleaning up
I know just how this thing ends
Hallelujah guess we gave the karmic wheel a spin
I know just how this thing ends
The aggrieved becomes aggressor
And we do it all again
Take it from a demon
Who can say I've never said
Take it from a demon
That the devil don't protect his friends
Take it from a demon
He'll never work in this town again
Take it from a demon
He'll make sure an angel goes down next
I know just how this thing ends
The misogynists daughter made him rethink what he said
I know just how this thing ends
She is trouble reconciling pops with the things that she read
I know just how this thing ends
100 billion babies born every millennium
I know just how this thing ends
Man, I hope nobody messes with the wrong rejected men
I know just how this thing ends
Sure your politics are perfect with a gun aimed at your head
I know just how this thing ends
It's a good thing God gave us someone on whom we can depend to clean up
Joshua Michael Tillman (born May 3, 1981), better known by his stage name Father John Misty, is an American musician. He is known for his satirical lyricism and eccentric performance style.
Tillman began his career in Seattle in the early 2000s, One of his demos reached Damien Jurado, and in 2003 he opened for him on his tour. Tillman began performing and releasing studio albums under the name J. Tillman. The albums were characterised for their folk sound and intimate lyricism. In 2008 Tillman joined the band Fleet Foxes, as their drummer during the tour for their first record, he also went on to play on their second album, Helplessness Blues (2011). Tillman left the band soon after the record was completed, and started a new solo project, now under the name Father John Misty, releasing his first record, Fear Fun, in 2012. The album was a radical departure from his previous output, featuring a more marked, indie rock sound, and satirical lyricism. His second album, I Love You, Honeybear (2015), received widespread acclaim, and was said to be a concept album, based on Tillman's relationship with his wife, Emma. Honeybear was followed by another concept album, Pure Comedy (2017), exchanging the romantic content of the former for a nihilistic view of society, consumerism, and politics. His next two records, God's Favorite Customer (2018) and Chloë and the Next 20th Century (2022), explore soft rock and traditional pop respectively.
During his career he has been either a permanent or touring member of Demon Hunter, Saxon Shore, Jeffertitti's Nile, Pearly Gate Music, Siberian, Har Mar Superstar, Poor Moon, Low Hums, and Jonathan Wilson, and has toured extensively with Jesse Sykes, and David Bazan. As a record producer and songwriter, Tillman has also made contributions to albums by more mainstream artists such as Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Kid Cudi, Lana Del Rey, and Post Malone.
