Lyrics
My lover’s got humour
– Lanmou mwen gen imè
She’s the giggle at a funeral
– Li se ri a nan yon fineray
Knows everybody’s disapproval
– Konnen dezapwobasyon tout moun
They should’ve worshipped her sooner
– Yo ta dwe adore l pi bonè
If the heavens ever did speak
– Si syèl la te janm pale
She’s the last true mouthpiece
– Li se dènye bouch vre
Every Sunday’s getting more bleak
– Chak dimanch ap vin pi sombre
A fresh poison each week
– Yon pwazon fre chak semèn
We were born sick
– Nou te fèt malad
You heard them say it
– Ou te tande yo di li
My church offers no absolutes
– Legliz mwen an pa ofri okenn absoli
She tells me, “Worship in the bedroom”
– Li di m’, “Adore Nan chanm lan”
The only heaven I’ll be sent to
– Sèl syèl la mwen pral voye nan
Is when I’m alone with you
– Se lè mwen pou kont mwen avèk ou
I was born sick
– Mwen te fèt malad
But I love it
– Men mwen renmen li
Command me to be well
– Kòmande m ‘ yo dwe byen
A-a-a-a-a-a-a, amen, amen, amen
– A-a-a-a-a-a-a, amèn, amèn, amèn
Take me to church
– Mennen m nan legliz
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
– Mwen pral adore tankou yon chen nan chapèl manti ou yo
I’ll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife
– Mwen pral di ou peche m ‘ yo, epi ou ka egwize kouto ou
Offer me that deathless death
– Ofri m ‘ ki lanmò lanmò
Oh good God, let me give you my life
– O bon Bondye, kite m ‘ ba ou lavi mwen
Take me to church
– Mennen m nan legliz
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
– Mwen pral adore tankou yon chen nan chapèl manti ou yo
I’ll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife
– Mwen pral di ou peche m ‘ yo, epi ou ka egwize kouto ou
Offer me that deathless death
– Ofri m ‘ ki lanmò lanmò
Oh good God, let me give you my life
– O bon Bondye, kite m ‘ ba ou lavi mwen
If I’m a pagan of the good times
– Si mwen se yon payen nan bon moman yo
My lover’s the sunlight
– Lanmou mwen se limyè solèy la
To keep the goddess on my side
– Pou kenbe deyès la sou bò mwen
She demands a sacrifice
– Li mande yon sakrifis
Drain the whole sea
– Drene tout lanmè a
Get something shiny
– Jwenn yon bagay klere
Something meaty for the main course
– Yon bagay vyann pou kou prensipal la
That’s a fine looking high horse
– Sa se yon bèl gade chwal segondè
What you got in the stable?
– Ki sa ou te resevwa nan estab la?
We’ve a lot of starving faithful
– Nou gen anpil fidèl ki grangou
That looks tasty
– Sa sanble bon gou
That looks plenty
– Sa sanble anpil
This is hungry work
– Sa a se travay grangou
Take me to church
– Mennen m nan legliz
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
– Mwen pral adore tankou yon chen nan chapèl manti ou yo
I’ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
– Mwen pral di ou peche m yo pou ou ka file kouto ou
Offer me my deathless death
– Ofri m lanmò san lanmò mwen
Oh good God, let me give you my life
– O bon Bondye, kite m ‘ ba ou lavi mwen
Take me to church
– Mennen m nan legliz
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
– Mwen pral adore tankou yon chen nan chapèl manti ou yo
I’ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
– Mwen pral di ou peche m yo pou ou ka file kouto ou
Offer me my deathless death
– Ofri m lanmò san lanmò mwen
Oh good God, let me give you my life
– O bon Bondye, kite m ‘ ba ou lavi mwen
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
– Pa gen mèt oswa wa lè seremoni an kòmanse
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
– Pa gen okenn inosan dous pase peche dou nou an
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
– Nan foli a ak tè nan sèn sa a tris sou latè
Only then, I am human
– Se sèlman lè sa a, mwen se moun
Only then, I am clean
– Se sèlman lè sa a, mwen pwòp
Oh, oh, amen, amen, amen
– Oh, oh, amèn, amèn, amèn
Take me to church
– Mennen m nan legliz
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
– Mwen pral adore tankou yon chen nan chapèl manti ou yo
I’ll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife
– Mwen pral di ou peche m ‘ yo, epi ou ka egwize kouto ou
Offer me that deathless death
– Ofri m ‘ ki lanmò lanmò
Oh good God, let me give you my life
– O bon Bondye, kite m ‘ ba ou lavi mwen
Take me to church
– Mennen m nan legliz
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
– Mwen pral adore tankou yon chen nan chapèl manti ou yo
I’ll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife
– Mwen pral di ou peche m ‘ yo, epi ou ka egwize kouto ou
Offer me that deathless death
– Ofri m ‘ ki lanmò lanmò
Oh good God, let me give you my life
– O bon Bondye, kite m ‘ ba ou lavi mwen
