take me to church
lucie david and laura easton
(francis forever and i want you are their songs don't get me wrong but this is THEIR song, no if ands or buts about it)

{LUCIE}

my lover's got humor
she's the giggle at a funeral
knows everybody's disapproval

{BOTH}

I should've worshipped her sooner

{LAURA}

if the heavens ever did speak, she's the last true mouthpiece
every sunday's getting more bleak
a fresh poison each week

{BOTH}

we were born sick
you heard them say it
my church offers no absolutes

{LUCIE}

she tells me worship in the bedroom

{BOTH}

the only heaven I'll be sent too
is when I'm alone with you

{LAURA}

I was born sick
but I love it

{LUCIE}

command me to be well
amen

{BOTH}

amen

{LAURA}

amen

{BOTH}

take me to church

{LAURA}

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

{LUCIE}

I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife

{LAURA}

offer me that deathless death

{LUCIE}

good god let me give you my life

{BOTH}

take me to church

{LUCIE}

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

{LAURA}

I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife

{LUCIE}

offer me that deathless death

{LAURA}

good god let me give you my life

{LAURA}

if I'm a pagan of the good time's
my lover's the sunlight
to keep the goddess on my side

{BOTH}

she demands a sacrifice

{LUCIE}

drain the whole sea
get something shiny
something meaty for the main course

{LAURA}

that's a fine looking high horse
what you got in the stable?
we've a lot of starving faithful

{LUCIE}

that looks tasty

{BOTH}

that looks plenty

{LAURA}

this is hungry work

{BOTH}

take me to church

{LAURA}

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

{LUCIE}

I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife

{LAURA}

offer me my deathless death

{LUCIE}

good god let me give you my life

{BOTH}

take me to church

{LUCIE}

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

{LAURA}

I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife

{LUCIE}

offer me my deathless death

{LAURA}

good god let me give you my life

{LAURA}

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

{LUCIE}

only then I am human
only then I am clean

{BOTH}

oh, oh

{LAURA}

amen

{BOTH}

amen

{LUCIE}

amen

{BOTH}

take me to church

{LUCIE}

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

{LAURA}

I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife

{LUCIE}

offer me that deathless death

{LAURA}

good god let me give you my life

{BOTH}

take me to church

{LAURA}

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

{LUCIE}

I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife

{LAURA}

offer me that deathless death

{LUCIE}

good god let me give you my life
