Take Me To Church
My lover's got humourHe's the giggle at a funeralKnows everybody's disapprovalI should've worshiped him sooner
If the heavens ever did speakHe's the last true mouthpieceEvery Sunday's getting more bleakA fresh poison each week
'We were born sick,' you heard them say it
My Church offers no absolutes.He tells me, 'Worship in the bedroom.'The only heaven I'll be sent toIs when I'm alone with you—
I was born sick,But I love itCommand me to be wellAmen. Amen. Amen. Amen.
[Chorus]Take me to churchI'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your liesI'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knifeOffer me that deathless deathGood God, let me give you my lifeTake me to churchI'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your liesI'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knifeOffer me that deathless deathGood God, let me give you my life
If I'm a pagan of the good timesMy lover's the sunlightTo keep the Goddess on my sideShe demands a sacrifice
Drain the whole seaGet something shinySomething meaty for the main courseThat's a fine looking high horseWhat you got in the stable?We've a lot of starving faithful
That looks tastyThat looks plentyThis is hungry work
[Chorus]Take me to churchI'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your liesI'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knifeOffer me my deathless deathGood God, let me give you my lifeTake me to churchI'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your liesI'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knifeOffer me my deathless deathGood God, let me give you my life
No Masters or KingsWhen the Ritual beginsThere is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly sceneOnly then I am HumanOnly then I am BeingAmen. Amen. Amen. Amen.
[Chorus]Take me to churchI'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your liesI'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knifeOffer me my deathless deathGood God, let me give you my lifeTake me to churchI'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your liesI'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knifeOffer me my deathless deathGood God, let me give you my life
