Lyrics
The Pimp And The Priest
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(Take me to the river)
The pimp and the priest pounce on quickened cat's feet
For the freshest young blood, innocence for the feast
The book will then brew what the sinful commit
While the pimp and priest pray quietly where the precious sinners sit
Confess, oh, confess
In the chapel, the brothel, where we suffocate stress
We've got the time if you've got the scratch
(Conquer your sins while she screams on her back)
Faster, save me!
(While your sins remain hostage)
Harder, I can't breathe!
Now the priest and the pimp are already equipped
With an enigmatic frontage post we welcome walk-ins
So we corner our pace and make quick for the door
To be prodded and passed from the bed to the floor
Confess, oh, confess
In the chapel, the brothel, where we suffocate stress
We've got the time if you've got the scratch
(Conquer your sins while she screams on her back)
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Faster, save me!
(Sins remain hostage)
Harder, I can't breathe!
Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Faster, save me!
(I've since remained hostage)
Harder, I can't breathe!
Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
