Misheard 80s Lyrics: 'Carry A Laser...'

Mister Mister "Kyrie"

It was years before I determined what exactly was being sung in "Kyrie." The best interpretation I heard was "Carry a laser down the road that I must travel." I remember looking up the lyrics on the internet when I was in college and going "huh?" Here are a few more interpretations from AmIRight.Com:

Can you even listen down the road...
Carrie Ann lays along the road...
Carry a raisin down the road...
Kill me a lizard down the road...

The lyrics of the song are actually "Kyrie Eleison" which is Greek for "Lord, have mercy." So, it appears that Mr. Mister could have intended the song to be a prayer. Think about that as you watch the video to their #1 hit from 1986.
