Take Me To Church (The Voice Performance)

My lover's got humor

She's the giggle at a funeral

Knows everybody's disapproval

I should've worshiped 'er soonerIf the heavens ever did speak

She is the last true mouthpiece

Every Sunday's getting more bleak

The fresh poison each weekI was born sick, but I love it

Command me to be well

A-amen, amen, amenTake me to church

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

I'll tell you my sins

So you can sharpen your knife

Offer me that deathless death

For good God, let me give you my lifeTake me to church

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

I'll tell you my sins

So you can sharpen your knife

Offer me that deathless death

For good God, let me give you my lifeIf I'm a pagan of the good times

My lover's the sunlight

To keep the goddess on my side

She demands a sacrificeTo 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?

Got a lot of starving faithfulThat looks tasty

That looks plenty

This is hungry workTake me to church

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

I'll tell you my sins

So you can sharpen your knife

Offer me that deathless death

For good God, let me give you my lifeTake me to church

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

I'll tell you my sins

So you can sharpen your knife

Offer me that deathless death

For good God, let me give you my lifeNo masters or kings when the ritual begins

There is no sweeter innocence

Than our gentle sinIn the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene

Only then I am human, only then I am cleanTake me to church

I'll worship like a dog

At the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins

So you can sharpen your knife

Offer me that deathless death

For good God, let me give you my lifeTake me to church

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

I'll tell you my sins

So you can sharpen your knife

Offer me that deathless death

For good God, let me give you my lifeTake me to church
