Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[PreChorus]
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
Ah, good God!
Let me give you my life
Take me to church
Yeah, work, God
At the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Ah, good God!
Let me give you my life
[Verse 4]
If I'm a pagan of the good times
Good, good, good times
Good, good times
Take me to church
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
[Bridge]
A–
Amen
Amen
Amen

[Outro]
Take, take, take me to church
Church, church, church, church, church, church
Take, take, 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
