My lover's got humor She's the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody's disapproval I should've worshipped her sooner

                                                                                               E
If the heavens ever did speak She's the last true mouthpiece Every Sunday's getting more bleak A fresh poison each week

 E
We were born sick, you heard them say it

 E
My church offers no absolutes

 E
She tells me worship in the bedroom

 E
The only heaven I'll be sent to

 E
Is when I'm alone with you

 E                          C
I was born sick, but I love it

 Em                                            B
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife

                                                               B
Offer me that deathless dead, the good God, let me give you my life

                                                                       B

Offer me that deathless death of good God, let me give you my life

                      B
If I'm a pagan of the good time, my love is the sunlight

 B
Keep the goddess on my side, she demands no sacrifice

 B
Drain the whole seat, get somethin' shiny Something peaty for the main chorus

 B
That's a fine-lookin' high horse What you got in the stable?

 B                                                            C
Weave a lot of starving face for That looks pasty, that looks plenty

                                 C

No masters or kings

                B
When the ritual begins

There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

 B
In the madness and soil of that sad, ugly sea

 B                         G         Em
Only then I am human, only then I am clean
