Hozier – Take Me To Church Lyrics
My lover's got humor
She is the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner
If the Heavens ever did speak
She is the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday is 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
[Chorus:]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you s 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 so you s 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 is 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
[Chorus:]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you s 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 so you s can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Amen, Amen, Amen
[Chorus:]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you s 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 so you s can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
