Take Me to Church Lyrics
[RODERICK]
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
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
She tells me "Worship in the bedroom"
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
[RODERICK with JANE (& NEW DIRECTIONS)]
I was born sick
But I love it
(Command me to be well)
[RODERICK]
Aay, amen, amen, amen
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
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
She tells me "Worship in the bedroom"
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
[RODERICK with JANE (& NEW DIRECTIONS)]
I was born sick
But I love it
(Command me to be well)
[RODERICK]
Aay, amen, amen, amen
[RODERICK & SKYLAR with NEW DIRECTIONS]
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
[RODERICK & SKYLAR with JANE & NEW DIRECTIONS]
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
[SKYLAR]
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
[RODERICK with KITTY]
Drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
[KITTY]
Something meaty for the main course
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
[RODERICK & SKYLAR with JANE & NEW DIRECTIONS]
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
[SKYLAR]
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
[RODERICK with KITTY]
Drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
[KITTY]
Something meaty for the main course
[SKYLAR]
That's a fine looking high horse
[JANE]

This is hungry work

[SKYLAR with JANE]
No masters or kings
When the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence
Than our gentle sin
[RODERICK with KITTY]
In the madness and soil of
That sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
[RODERICK]
Oh, oh
Amen, amen, amen
