Sex & Religion

Repent, repent, repent ye sinners -

What do you think you got
When you thought you had a lot?
But all your feelings are dead
And who do you think you are
When you're reaching for the stars
But all your feelings are dead?

Must you make a decision
Between sex and religion?
Why can't you love God in your bed?

Well, Jesus Christ
Is in your bed tonight
To bring you back from the dead (welcome)

How are you gonna fight
For what you think is right
If all your feelings are (dead) dead?

And what can you know of love? (What can you know of love?)
From the eyes of a child to the heavens above
When all your feelings are dead?

It's a tragic condition
Sex and religion
Makin' a manic mess in your head

Jesus Christ
Is in your bed tonight
To bring you back from the dead
Jesus Christ
A reigning son of the heatless light
When all your feelings are dead

(Resurrection!) I raise my hand high up into the air
I get down on my knees, and then I start a-prayin'
When love walks in, my body begins
I feel my promised land comin' but I gotta go to hell now

And those creatures, evangelist preachers
The ones that take money for the promise of hope
Well, they are dangerous, I'm not dangerous
Brainwashing us and we're not gonna take it

I just wanna know
Oh, Lord, how is it so?
How is it that you can take my sins away?

Oh, Lord, tell me
So I can see the light again
I don't think anybody can take my sins away

But how can the truth be known
If we got little black holes in our souls
And all our feelings are dead?

Are we imprisoned by sex and religion
Or is God the one that's trapped in our mess?

Well, Jesus Christ
Is in your bed tonight
To bring you back from the dead
Jesus Christ
A reigning son of the heatless light
To bring you back from dead

So remember now, folks, when you kneel to pray
Blow a little kiss to the hypocrites
Good God knows when you turn the other cheek
Which direction you're pointing it
