My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her soonerIf the heavens ever did speak
She is the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each weekWe were born sick
You heard them say itMy church offers no absolutions
She tells me: Worship in the bedroom
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with youI was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
Ah, amen, amen, amenTake 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 lifeTake 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 lifeIf I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover is the sunlight
To keep the goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
Drain the whole sea, get something shinySomething 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 workTake 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 my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my lifeTake 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 my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my lifeNo masters or kings
When the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence
Than our gentle sinIn the madness and soil
Of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean, oh, oh
Amen, amen, amenTake 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 lifeTake 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
