[00:00.85]My lover's got humor

[00:03.74]She's the giggle at a funeral

[00:06.44]Everybody's disapproval

[00:09.23]I should've worshiped her sooner

[00:12.31]If the heavens ever did speak

[00:14.64]
[00:15.15]She's the last true mouthpiece

[00:18.12]Every Sunday's getting more bleak

[00:20.89]A fresh poison each week

[00:23.72]We were born sick you heard them say it

[00:27.54]Command me to be well

[00:29.56]
[00:30.32]Amen amen

[00:34.95]
[00:35.77]Amen amen

[00:40.30]
[00:42.25]Take me to church

[00:43.57]I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

[00:47.15]I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife

[00:50.77]Offer me that deathless death

[00:53.57]Good god let me give you my life

[00:56.24]
[00:58.23]If I'm a pagan of the good times

[01:00.90]My lover's the sunlight

[01:03.60]To keep the goddess on my side

[01:06.52]She demands a sacrifice

[01:09.23]Drain the whole sea

[01:11.10]Get something shiny

[01:12.77]Something meaty for the main course

[01:15.71]That's a fine looking high horse

[01:18.40]What you got in the stable

[01:21.20]Got a lot of starving faithful

[01:23.92]That looks tasty

[01:25.85]That looks plenty

[01:27.53]This is hungry work

[01:29.47]Take me to church

[01:31.38]I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

[01:34.97]I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife

[01:38.72]Offer me that deathless death

[01:41.67]Good god let me give you my life

[01:44.22]
[01:44.85]Take me to church

[01:53.57]Offer me that deathless death

[01:56.33]Good god let me give you my life

[01:59.07]
[02:01.31]No masters or kings

[02:03.68]When the ritual begins

[02:06.72]
[02:07.50]There is no sweeter innocence

[02:11.39]Than our gentle sin

[02:14.23]
[02:14.89]In the madness and soil

[02:17.99]Of that sad earthly scene

[02:21.49]
[02:22.06]Only then I am human

[02:25.92]Only then I am clean

[02:29.75]
[02:37.61]Amen amen

[02:42.52]
[02:43.12]Amen

[02:44.98]
[02:46.81]Take me to church

[02:47.95]I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
