Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My lover's got a humor
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner
[Verse 2]
If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's gettin' more bleak
A fresh poison each week
[Verse 3]
We were born sick, you heard them sayin'
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
I was born sick
But I love it
Command me to be well
Ay, amen, amen, amen
[Verse 6]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog in the shrine of your lies
I'll tell all of my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
And good god, let me give you my life
[Verse 7]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog in the shrine of your lies
I'll tell all of my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
And good god, let me give you my life
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Drain the whole sea
Get somethin' shiny
Somethin' meaty for the main course
That's a fine lookin' high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starvin' faithful
[Verse 10]
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work
[Verse 11]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog in the shrine of your lies
I'll tell all of my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
And good god, let me give you my life
[Verse 12]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog in the shrine of your lies
I'll tell all of my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
And good god, let me give you my life
[Verse 13]
No masters or kings
When the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
[Verse 14]
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
[Verse 15]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog in the shrine of your lies
I'll tell all of my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
And good god, let me give you my life
[Verse 16]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog in the shrine of your lies
I'll tell all of my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
And good god, let me give you my life
