Take me to church  /  Hozier

 

 

 

my lovers got humour

shes the giggle at a funeral

knows everybodys disapproval

i should`ve worshiped her sonner

if the heavens ever did speak

shes the last true mouthpiece

every sundays getting more bleak

a fresh poison each week

we were born sick you heard them say it

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?

i was born sick

but i love it

command me to be well

amen amen amen amen

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 hat deathless death

good god let me give you my life

if i`m a pagan of the good times

my lovers the sunlight

to keep the goddess on my side

she demands a sacrifice

drain the whole sea

get something shiny

something meaty for the main course

thats a fine looking hugh horse

what you gor in the stable?

we`ve a lot of starving faithful

that looks tasty

that looks plenty

this is hungry work

take me to church

i`ll worship like a dog at the shirne of your lies

i`ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife

offer me my deathless death

good god let me give you my life

take me to church

i`ll worship like a dog at the shire 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

amen amen amen amen

take me to church

i`ll worship like a dog at the shire 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

take me to church

i`ll worship like a dog at the shire of your knife

offer me that deathless death

good god let me give you my life
