Your Body, My Temple (Song)

Amen! I'm only a man
Howlin' at your face in the moon
Hot damn! But no holy man
Kneelin' in the stained-glass tomb

As all hell breaks loose, as all hells always do
Aw, what the hell can I do to have a little more heaven with you?
Hot damn! You're only part of my plan
Cataclysmic catechism, catch 22

Your body, my temple, baby
Your body, my temple

So when the cattle fall dead and the waters run red
I'll be your lamb's blood on the wall
God isn't dead, but that's exactly what I've been dreading
After all, the meek inherited fuck all

Jesus Christ, I will die for my own damn sins
If you help those who help themselves
My superstitions, your visage, my visions
Furthering the fever of your fervor for believing, I will

Your body, my temple, baby
Your body, my temple

I'll be your blessing in disguise, whip the mask off my good side
I'm all stripped down naked for you
But still asking you to loosen up my buttons, baby
You've got my whole world in your hands, got this little blue spot
And you really ain't got no idea how much of this orbits you, now do ya, honey?

Please relieve me of my dreaming
I'm kneeling, begging, pleading
For my savory-sweet release of death
Oh, I wanna die, I wanna die, I wanna die, I wanna die
I wanna die, I wanna die, I wanna die
So I can taste your name on my final breath

Your body, my temple, baby
Your body, my temple

Am I supposed to call this flagellation?
Trade confessions for questions
Just us second-guessing, I guess
Now am I missing the message?
Its essence goes over my head like a halo
Like a halo, like a halo!

The wine in my veins fermenting my brain
My body, my bread, it's all gon' rise again
So be my golden calf like a fresh cut of veal
After all, we're both dead meat
My forbidden honeydew, honey, do you need a hot meal?
Just save me half, yeah, I could eat

Your body, my temple, baby
Your body, my temple, baby
Your body, my temple, baby
Your body, my temple
Baby!
