Take Me To Church
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's 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 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 so 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
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 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
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
Jackie And Wilson
So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight
So deep in this swill with the most familiar of swine for reasons wretched and divine
She blows outta nowhere, roman candle of the wild laughing away through my feeble disguise
No other version of me I would rather be tonight and,she found me just in time
Because with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
I need to be youthfully felt because I never felt young
She's gonna save me call me baby run her hands through my hair
She'll know me crazy soothe me daily better yet she wouldn't care
We'll steal her Lexus be detectives ride around picking up clues
We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson raise them on rhythm and blues
It'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime
Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine
Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside
Sit back and watch the world go by
Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust
We tried the world, good God, it wasn't for us
Cut clean from the dream at night let my mind reset
Looking up from a cigarette, and she's already left
I start digging up the yard for what's left of me and our little vignette
For whatever poor soul is coming next
Someone New
Don't take this the wrong way you knew who I was with every step that I ran to you
Only blue or black days electing strange perfections in any stranger I choose
Would things be easier if there was a right way there is no right way
And so I fall in love just a little, a little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little a little bit every day with someone new
There's an art to life's distractions to somehow escape the burning weight, the art of scraping through
Some like to imagine the dark caress of someone else, I guess any thrill will do
Would things be easier if there was a right way there is no right way
And so I fall in love just a little, a little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little a little bit every day with someone new
I wake at the first cringe of morning and my heart's already sinned
How pure, how sweet a love, Aretha, that you would pray for him
Because God knows I fall in love just a little a little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little a little bit every day with someone new
Love with every stranger, the stranger the better
Love with every stranger, the stranger the better
I fall in love just a little a little bit every day with someone new
Moment's Silence (Common Tongue)
When stunted hand earns place with man by mere monstrosity
Alarms are struck and shore is shook by sheer atrocity
A cure I know that soothes the soul, does so impossibly
A moment's silence when my baby puts her mouth on
Me and my babe relax and catch the manic rhapsody
All reason flown, as God looks on in abject apathy
A squall, and all of me is a prayer in perfect piety
A moment's silence when my baby puts her mouth on me
When the meaning is gone there is clarity
And the reason comes on the common tongue of your loving me
And it's easy done our little remedy
And the reason comes on the common tongue of your loving me
What yields the need for those who lead us oh so morally
Those that would view the same we do through their deformity
Who view the deed as power's creed, as pure authority
This moment's silence when my baby puts her mouth on me
Since it all begun to its reckoning
There the reason comes on the common tongue of your loving me
Be thankful some know it lovingly
There the reason comes in the common tongue of your loving me
Like a heathen clung to the homily
Let the reason come on the common tongue of your loving me
So summon on the pearl rosary
Let the reason come on the common tongue of your loving me
From Eden
There's something tragic about you something so magic about you don't you agree?
There's something lonesome about you something so wholesome about you get closer to me
No tired sighs, no rolling eyes, no irony no who cares, no vacant stares, no time for me
You're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
Innocence died screaming ask me I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
There's something wretched about this something so precious about this where to begin
There's something broken about this but I might be hoping about this. what a sin
To the strand a picnic plan for you and me a rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree
You're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
Innocence died screaming ask me I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
Dinner & Diatribes
This club here is stuck up Dinner and Diatribes
I knew well from our first hookup the look of mischief in your eye
Your friends are a fate that befell me hell is the talking type
I'd suffer hell if you'd tell me what you'd do to me tonight
Tell me tell me tell me
That's the kinda love I've been dreaming of
That's the kinda love I've been dreaming of
I laugh when it sinks in a pillar, I am upright
Scarcely can speak for my thinking what you'd do to me tonight
Now that the evening is slowing now that the end's in sight
It's easier knowing what you'd do to me tonight
Tell me tell me tell your man
That's the kinda love I've been dreaming of
That's the kinda love I've been dreaming of
That's the kinda love that's the kinda love
That's the kinda love that's the kinda love
Let there be hotel complaints and grievances raised and that kind of love
Let there be damage ensued and tabloid news and that kind of love
That's the kinda love I've been dreaming of
That's the kinda love I've been dreaming of
