Take Me To Church

Ed Sheeran Ed Sheeran

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 could speak
She is the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
Fresh poison each week

We were born sick
You heard them say it

My church offers no absolutions
She told me: Worship in the bedroom
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you

We were born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
Amen, amen, amen

Take me to church
And 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

Take me to church
And I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins
So you can sharpen your knife
And offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

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
To 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 faithful
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work

Take 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
Good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church
And 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
Good God, let me give you my life

No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human, only then I am clean

Take 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
Good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church
And 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
Good God, let me give you my life
