Hey Great Pearl whatchya doin’ out there
Prayin’ alone with such might while I pray here above you
[Protestant] I can hear your music playin’
[Orthodox] I can see your censers swayin’
Although you’re below me you don’t even know me
I love you
Refrain
Oh, my darling, knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Twice — I’m the Pope — if the answer is no, oh, my sweetness
(Knock, knock, knock!) Means you’ll meet me, oh say, halfway
Mmm — yes, I’m the Pope — (clink, clink) means you ain’t gonna show
If you look in your Bible tonight
Turn to the page with the note that’s attached to my heart [Matthew 16:18]
[Dialogue] O how many times I saw you
[Heretics] How in silence I abhorred you
And only in your dreams will that wall between us come apart
Refrain
Oh, my darling, knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Twice — I’m the Pope — if the answer is no, oh, my sweetness
(Knock, knock, knock!) Means you’ll meet me, oh say, halfway
Mmm — yes, I’m the Pope — (clink, clink) means you ain’t gonna show
[Charismatic] I can hear your music playin’
[High Church] I can see your censers swayin’
Although you’re below me you don’t even know me
I love you
