Lyrics
Verse 1My lover's got humour. She's the giggle at a funeral.
Knows ev’rybody’s disapproval.I should have worshipped her sooner.
If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece. Every Sunday's getting more bleak.
A fresh poison each week
'We were born sick, ' you heard them say it
Verse 2
My Church offers no absolutes. She tells me, 'Worship in the bed room.'
The only heaven I'll be sent to. Is when I'm alone with you.
I was born sick,but I love it. Command me to be well hey
Amen. Amen. Amen.
Chorus 1(2x)
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death, oh good God,
let me give you my life
Verse 3
If I'm a pagan of the good times. My lover's the sunlight.
To keep the Goddess on my side. She demands a sacrifice
To drain the whole sea. Get something shiny.
Something meaty for the main course. That's a fine looking high horse.
What you got in the stable. We've a lot of starvin’ faithful.
That looks tasty. That looks plenty.
This is hungry work.
Chorus 2 (2x)
Bridge
No Masters or Kings, when the Ritual begins.
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin.
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene.
Only then I am Human. Only then I am Clean, oo
Amen. Amen. Amen.
Chorus 3 (2x)
Chorus 4 (2x)
