Been digging in and waiting for the banks
Gonna wipe our suit real clean
Been crossing myself looking at the stat [0:39]
On the stuff that's in between
The Church Discography
Been playing with them carcinogens [0:44]
Been kissed by acid rain
Take a deep breath, there's almost nothing left
Except my shoes and change [0:51]
The Church Discography
We're gonna thrive
We're gonna get up and thrive
We're gonna thrive
We're gonna get up and thrive
The Church Discography
Shift me around, and my eyes to the ground
Soaking up the place where we talk
The economy is a strange thing to me
It took my dogma for a walk
The Church Discography
Been waiting for the seas to rise
So she holds up in the sky
Take a long hard look, unless I'm mistook
My whole life just went flashing by
The Church Discography
We're gonna thrive
We're gonna thrive
Friday's gotta tell you
She gives up a lot to ride through bed
And my pail down to nothing
Keep overtransfixed when you're finally there
The Church Discography
Well she might be a goddess
I couldn't really say
But if you ever wanna understand her
You better start with a prayer
The Church Discography
Hey there, hey there
That's Miss Superlative talking
Hey there, hey there
I think she's talking to you
The Church Discography
Somebody's gotta tell you
That she radiates like she could light up the town
An immaculate conception
And when she walks she doesn't touch the ground
The Church Discography
She's got a laugh that's a little physical [1:25]
Permanent cultured chest [1:27]
Swallow everything she throws you
She gets by on nothing but air
The Church Discography
Well I know you're special
Ain't it the truth
(She spits out stars)
(She spits out stars)
The Church Discography
She needs love but she spits out stars
She burns fingers and she rips out hearts
She screams through the sky and hides in the clouds
Well she wrote my name around the inde [1:07] ground
Around the inde [1:11] ground
The Church Discography
She needs love but she spits out stars
Well she broke my home when she wrecked my car
She's got plasticene hair that drips in her eyes
She's got gasoline breath and teeth like knives
She's got teeth like knives
The Church Discography
She's been herself now almost all of her life
And she gave herself to me
She's been herself now almost all of her life
And she showered you in love
She showered you in love
The Church Discography
She needs love but she spits out stars
Well she's got acid since she moved if there's much to fall
She cries off the rails and gives you a stare
Well, she's losing her marbles but she don't know where
But she don't know where
The Church Discography
She needs love but she spits out stars
She needs some precious bedside stars
The Church Discography
Ahh, she rips out hearts
You've laced your life with belladonna ice
Just one little bite from you took my will away
I'm lying in a pool so sweet my head can't hold my brains
Just one little kiss and you're curdling my veins
The Church Discography
Pretty, pretty, pretty
I don't think I can take the cure
Pretty, pretty, pretty
You make this world seem almost pure
The Church Discography
You're shrouded in white but I'm wasting away
I'd sell my mother's soul if only you will stay
You've led me down a path impossible to take
You've never looked so pure, I've never felt so lame
On a stronghold
That's gonna block out that sky
She [0:16] broken rocks jutting out of reach of human tide
The Church Discography
I'll be safely sealed in
While you batter at my wall
Steel safety blankets guaranteed against all foes
The Church Discography
The more that goes down the more that confusion reigns supreme
Nothing's gonna touch you when you remain impregnable
Remain impregnable
The Church Discography
Those mountains not prepared for a fall
This machine of hardened flesh and veins won't feel anything at all
I'll be calm this evening while the mayhem down below
Hurtles .. into the heart of the crime
The Church Discography
Nothing's gonna touch you
The Church Discography
Excuse me, I was only joking
I hand you the butt of my joke with both barrels still smoking
We're homeblind
We're homeblind
(homeblind!)
The Church Discography
Take me back where I don't feel exposed to the sky
I was born here but I never really belonged
Take me back to the place where my grandfather died
I was raised here but something always felt wrong
The Church Discography
Take me somewhere where the sun's not my enemy
Though it warmed me it dried out my soul
Take me somewhere where they speak the same language as you
You're way of talkin' just leaves me cold
The Church Discography
When we arrived here we knew we left something behind
How can I find it here
The Church Discography
We're homeblind
We're homeblind
We're homeblind
We're home--homeblind
Homeblind
The Church Discography
Open your eyes
Let's see blood into this land
The Church Discography
(We're home) Homeblind
Some people think that I'm obsessive
Or maybe I'm a little extreme
When I set my mind on something
I don't let nothing between
The Church Discography
I got a reputation
Maybe it's what I deserve
I'll use any means
I've got no qualms
I've got no qualms
The Church Discography
You've completed my picture
You're a once-in-a-lifetime find
I wanna hold you on up
I hope you don't mind too much anyway
The Church Discography
I wanna hide you away
Like a treasure
We'll have forever and a day
For a pleasure
And no matter what they say
We'll be together
I wanna hide you away
The Church Discography
[Movie or TV audio clip]
"What is wrong with women? Do they not save us from hunger and danger when we are young? Did they not teach us good from evil? Do they not bear our children, serve our needs, ??? [1:45] ourselves, and exhault in our joy?! Ha ha ha! Heaven is indeed merciful!"
The Church Discography
Some people think that I'm possessive
And maybe that's a little untrue
Why I might share my money
But I won't share something like you
The Church Discography
I got no obligations
I can do just what I please
I wanna make you mine
I'll use any means, any means
The Church Discography
You completed my picture
You're a once-in-a-lifetime find
I wanna hold you on up
I hope that you don't mind too much anyway
The Church Discography
(Gonna love you, gonna love you, gonna love you…)
I'm gonna love you (gonna love you)
I'm gonna love you, girl, I love you today
I'm gonna love you (gonna love you)
Till there's nothing, nothing left
The Church Discography
I want to hide you away
We'll have forever and a day
Like a treasure
I want to hide you away
Like a treasure
We'll have forever and a day
Like a treasure
The Church Discography
Gonna love you
Gonna love you
Like a treasure
The Church Discography
I'm gonna love you (gonna love you)
I'm gonna love you, girl, I love you today
Like a treasure
The Church Discography
I'm gonna love you (gonna love you)
I'm gonna love you till there's nothing, nothing more!
Like a treasure
The Church Discography
Gonna love you
Like a treasure
There's been cruel lies, in what she'd heard in quite some time
They come in close but she doesn't really mind
The secret plans, underhand, he takes his aim
Takes her hand, says to her "what can I say"
The Church Discography
She says no
This can't go wrong
Just can't go wrong
Cause you don't know what, what I've been going through for you
The Church Discography
They say the music's getting louder [0:55]
Suddenly it all comes true
And you can do anything you're not allowed to
In the back room
The Church Discography
Step upstairs
He takes her down from the stairs
Is this heaven or hell, she can't seem to tell
She don't seem to care
The Church Discography
She says no
This can't go wrong
Just can't go wrong
Cause you don't know what, what I've been going through for you
The Church Discography
They say the music's getting louder [1:55, 2:55]
But suddenly it all comes true
You can do anything you're not allowed to
In the back room
The Church Discography
In the back room
The new sun wants the tight snow
It won't want me
It won't want me
The Church Discography
As life cracks the cold hard ground
That's where I'll be
That's where I'll be
The Church Discography
You see I'm going on a journey
There's really nothing now left to say
I hope you cope with my cop-out
Summer's too short anyway
The Church Discography
I will be a Spring suicide
Runaway and hide
Runaway and hide
The Church Discography
Those twisted trees mock me with their blooms
It's gone too soon
It's gone too soon
The Church Discography
These longer days left me feeling kinda sure
I'm gonna seal my room
I'm gonna seal my room
The Church Discography
I bought myself the one-way ticket
Could be leaving now any day
I hope you cope with my cop-out
There's nothing happening here anyway
The Church Discography
My Spring suicide
Runaway and hide
Runaway and hide
The Church Discography
My Spring suicide
Runaway and hide
Runaway, away and hide
We really can't go on like this
With the curtains alight we just sit and kiss
Then again I really like the warm glow in your eyes
The Church Discography
Do you know that game?
The winner is the last one to catch a flame
Or did you think it was only me licking at your toes
As the flame hangs low [1:30]
The Church Discography
Is it me or is it hot in here?
Maybe we'll know when all the smoke has cleared
And maybe we can dial a line about fire prevention
The Church Discography
I didn't mean to sound alarmed
But can we really stay here and remain unharmed
There's a couple of things that got an urgent need for some attention
The Church Discography
There's a couple of things that got an urgent need for some attention
There's a couple of things that got an urgent need for some attention
The Church Discography
I wake up, I can't shut my eyes
There's a couple of things that got an urgent need for some attention
The Church Discography
'Cause there's a couple of things that got an urgent need for some attention
The Church Discography
Some attention
There's a couple of things that got an urgent need for some attention
