Lyrics

[00:01.80] My lover's got humour
[00:03.85] She's the giggle at a funeral
[00:06.65] Knows everybody's disapproval
[00:09.70] I should've worshipped her sooner
[00:12.86] If the Heavens ever did speak
[00:15.51] She is the last true mouth piece
[00:18.41] Every Sunday's getting more bleak
[00:21.27] A fresh poison each week
[00:24.35] We were born sick, you heard them say it
[00:28.14] My church offers no absolutes
[00:31.40] She tells me 'worship in the bedroom
[00:33.65] The only heaven I'll be sent to
[00:36.52] Is when I'm alone with you
[00:39.52] I was born sick, but I love it
[00:43.24] Command me to be well
[00:45.58] Amen. Amen. Amen
[00:58.11] Take me to church
[00:59.60] I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
[01:03.27] I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
[01:06.96] Offer me that deathless death
[01:09.63] Good God, let me give you my life
[01:12.86] Take me to church
[01:14.32] I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
[01:18.40] I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
[01:21.68] Offer me that deathless death
[01:24.42] Good God, let me give you my life
[01:29.10] If I'm a pagan of the good times
[01:31.72] My lover's the sunlight
[01:34.66] To keep the Goddess on my side
[01:37.21] She demands a sacrifice
[01:40.17] To drain the whole sea
[01:41.99] Get something shiny
[01:44.20] Something meaty for the main course
[01:46.63] That's a fine looking high horse
[01:49.48] What you got in the stable?
[01:52.28] We've a lot of starving faithful
[01:55.10] That looks tasty
[01:56.96] That looks plenty
[01:58.64] This is hungry work
[02:00.53] Take me to church
[02:02.64] I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
[02:06.35] I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
[02:10.40] Offer me my deathless death
[02:12.70] Good God, let me give you my life
[02:15.98] Take me to church
[02:17.36] I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
[02:21.13] I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
[02:24.76] Offer me that deathless death
[02:27.47] Good God, let me give you my life
[02:32.66] No masters or kings when the ritual begins
[02:38.62] There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
[02:46.48] In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
[02:53.26] Only then I am human
[02:56.83] Only then I am clean
[03:07.56] Amen. Amen. Amen
[03:17.41] Take me to church
[03:18.92] I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
[03:22.59] I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
[03:26.48] Offer me that deathless death
[03:29.70] Good God, let me give you my life
[03:32.16] Take me to church
[03:33.66] I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
[03:37.42] I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
[03:41.30] Offer me that deathless death
[03:43.82] Good God, let me give you my life
