Chapter VIII: Kiss the Go-Goat Lyrics

[Papa Nil]
I just don't understand why we waste our time on this
What's the fascination with this cardinal anyway?
He was nominated for two Grammys! did not get one!

[Sister Imperator]
You're not getting the big picture Papa

[Papa Nil]
Why can't I have another chance?

[Sister Imperator]
Do I have to remind you what happened last time?

[Ghost - "Kiss The Go-Goat"]

[Chorus: Young Papa Nil]
Hey baby
Kiss the goat
Oh
Kiss, kiss, kiss, the go-goat

[Verse 1: Young Papa Nil]
You've been playing
Around the magic that is black
But all the powerful magical mysteries never give a single thing back
You've been daddied
By all the dudes that wanna dad
And all those dads never gave you the things that you should have had
[Pre-Chorus: Young Papa Nil]
It ain't always what it seems
When you cling on to a dream
It ain't always what will please you
But he's the guy you want to do
And you know that it takes two
Luckily he wants to do you too
Satan, Lucifer, Osculum Obscenum

[Chorus: Young Papa Nil]
Hey baby
Kiss the goat
Oh
Kiss, kiss, kiss, the go-goat
Hey baby
Hey, hey, hey, kiss the goat
Oh
Kiss, kiss, kiss, the go-goat

[Pre-Chorus: Young Papa Nil]
It ain't always what it seems
That glitter wasn't gold
As opposed to what they told you
But he's the guy you want to do
And you know that it takes two
Luckily he wants to do you too
Satan, Lucifer, Osculum Obscenum
[Guitar and Keyboard Solo]

[Pre-Chorus: Young Papa Nil]
It ain't always what it seems
When you cling on to a dream
It ain't always what will please you
But he's the guy you want to do
And you know that it takes two
Luckily he wants to do you too
Satan, Lucifer, Osculum Obscenum


[Young Papa Nil]
(Kisses girl in the crowd)

[Young Sister Imperator]
(Leaves show)

[Sister Imperator]
Don't even try to question why I left you
You should be happy that I'm here now
And believe me, I know what I'm doing

[Papa Nil]
Sister! What do you think about a re-release for the fiftieth anniversary?

I'm really pushing it, aren't I?

About

Genius Annotation

On the eighth chapter of Ghost’s YouTube mini-series, the band makes a satire of themselves by playing a song titled “Kiss The Go-Goat”. The chapter sees Papa Nil complaining about Cardinal Copia and how he didn’t win a Grammy. He then reminisces of a time when he used to lead the band (back in the 60s and 70s) and how he played those songs.

The song parodies what people think Ghost songs are all about like kissing the devil, doing black magic and having relationships with a goat.
