My lover's
got humour
She's the giggle
at a funeral
Knows everybody's
disapproval
I should've 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
My Church offers
no absolutes
She tells me
Worship in the bedroom
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
a amen amen amen
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog
At the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins
So you can
sharpen your knife
Offer me that
deathless death
Good God
let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog
At the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins
So you can
sharpen your knife
Offer me that
deathless death
Good God
let me give you my life
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
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 starving faithful
That looks tasty
that looks plenty
This is
hungry work
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog
At the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins
So you can
sharpen your knife
Offer me that
deathless death
Good God
let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog
At the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins
So you can
sharpen your knife
Offer me that
deathless death
Good God
let me give you my life
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
Oh oh
amen amen amen
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog
At the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins
So you can
sharpen your knife
Offer me that
deathless death
Good God
let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog
At the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins
So you can
sharpen your knife
Offer me that
deathless death
Good God
let me give you my life
