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:
I was born sick,
But I love it
Command me to be well

Roderick:
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Roderick 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 with Jane, Kitty, and 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

Head Warbler:
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

Head Warbler:
That's a fine looking high horse

Jane:
What you got in the stable?

Roderick:
We've a lot of starving faithful

Roderick with Kitty:
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work

Roderick with Kitty and New Directions:
Take me to church

Roderick with New Directions:
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 with Jane, Kitty, and 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

Head Warbler 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.

Roderick with Jane and New Directions:
Take me to church

Roderick with New Directions (Jane):
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies (Woah!)
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife (Yeah)
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life (Let me give you my life)

Roderick with Kitty and New Directions (and Jane):
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
