Christina, the Astonishing   Lived a long, long time ago   She was stricken with a seizure   At the age of twenty-two      They took her body in a coffin   To a tiny church in Liege   Where she sprang up from the coffin   Just after the Agnus Dei      She soared up to the rafters   Perched on a beam up there   Cried, "The stink of human sin   The stink of human sin   The stink is more that I can bear"      And I said, "Oh, oh, oh"      Christina, the Astonishing   Was the most astonishing of all   She prayed, balanced on a hurdle   Or curled up into a ball      She fled to remote places   Climbed towers and trees and walls   To escape the stench of corruption   The stench of human corruption   Into an oven, she did crawl      And I said, "Oh, oh, oh"      Christina, the Astonishing   Behaved in a terrifying way   She'd run wildly through the streets   Jump in the Meusse and swim away      Christina, the Astonishing   Behaved in a terrifying manner   She died at the age of seventy-four   Died at the age of seventy-four   In the convent of St. Anna      And I said, "Oh, oh, oh"
