Take Me To Church Lyrics

 

Take Me To Church - Nicole Cross

Written by:HOZIER BYRNE/ANDREW JOHN

My lover's got humour

She's the giggle at a funeral

 

Knows everybody's disapproval

I should've worshipped her sooner

 

If the heavens ever did speak

She is the last true mouthpiece

Every sunday's 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

Ahaa a men a men a men

 

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

 

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 goddess on my side

She demands a sacrifice

 

To 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 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

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

 

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

 

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
