emerald osagie - take me to church lyrics

[verse 1]
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, oh+oh
every sunday’s gettin’ more bleak (ah+oh)
a fresh poison each week (each week, yeah)
we were born sick (oh, oh), you heard them say it (oh+oh, oh)
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 (oh, oh), but i love it
command me to be well (command me to be well)

[pre+chorus]
a, amen (to be well)
amen (to be well)
amen (to be well)

[chorus]
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
oh, 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
oh, good god, let me give you my life
[verse 2]
if i’m a pagan of the good times (oh, oh)
my lover’s the sunlight (oh, oh)
to keep the goddess on my side (oh, oh)
she demands a sacrifice
drain the whole sea, get somethin’ shiny
somethin’ meaty for the main course
that’s a fine lookin’ high horse
what you got in the stable?
we’ve a lot of starvin’ faithful
that looks tasty, that looks plenty
this is hungry work

[chorus]
take me to church
i’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
i’ll tell you my sins, you can sharpen your knife
offer me that (offer me) deathless death
oh, good god (yeah), let me give you my life (good god)
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

[instrumental outro]
