Lyrics Neon Jungle – Take Me To Church
Text:
Jess:
My lover’s got humour
She’s the giggle at a funeral
Everybody’s disapproval
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
Amira:
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
All:
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
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
Asami:
My lover’s the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
Asami and Shereen:
Drain the whole sea, get something shiny
Shereen:
Something meaty for the main course
Oh, what a fine looking high horse
Oh, what you got in the stable?
We’ve a lot of starving faithful
That looks tasty, that looks plenty
This is hungry work
All:
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
Shereen:
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
Amira:
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
Shereen:
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Amira:
Only then I am human, only then I am clean
All:
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
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
Asami:
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
