My lover's got humour He's the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody's disapproval I should've worshipped him sooner
If the heavens ever did speak He's the last pure mouthpiece Every Sunday's getting more bleak A new poison every week
"We were born sick," I heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes He says me, "Worship in the bedroom." The only heaven I'll be sent to Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick But I love it Command me to be well Aaay. Amen. Amen. Amen.
[Chorus 2x:] Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life
If I'm a pagan of the good times My lover's the sunlight To keep the God on my side He demands a sacrifice
Drain the whole sea Get something shiny Something meaty for the main course That's a fine-looking high horse What you got in the stable? We've got a starving faithful
That looks tasty That looks plenty This is hungry work
[Chorus 2x:] Take 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
No Masters or Kings When the Ritual begins There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene Only then I am human Only then I am clean
[Chorus 2x:] Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life
