sofia karlberg - take me to church - acoustic version lyrics

Loading...

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 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
he 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 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
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 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 my 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 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
