I saw you in church on Sunday
I was walking by on my way to Monday
Cracked lips and a sad vogue
Something tune life that you just can’t hear
Dry fuel but it hurts too much
Do you like it, when life gets rough?
You always washing your hands in myth
Don’t you know you can’t get clean?
I didn’t know, didn’t know
What I was running to
Didn’t know, didn’t know
What I was running to
I didn’t know, didn’t know
What I was running to
Didn’t know, didn’t know
What I was running to
Didn’t know what I was running to
Oh girl don’t stop now
Walking through the city like a holy cow
Oh girl don’t stop now
Only way to heaven is a broken vow
Are you speaking in tongues
Yeah, I’ll take sin
Your abstinence
Is such a loaded gun
Your stained glass and a holy ghost
I shall not take what I want the most
I didn’t know, didn’t know
What I was running to
Didn’t know, didn’t know
What I was running to
I didn’t know, didn’t know
What I was running to
Didn’t know, didn’t know
What I was running to
Didn’t know what I was running to
Oh girl don’t stop now
Walking through the city like a holy cow
Oh girl don’t stop now
Only way to heaven is a broken vow
Oh girl don’t stop now
Walking through the city like a holy cow
Oh girl don’t stop now
Only way to heaven is a broken vow
Only way to heaven is a broken vow
Hide me in mirrors
I’m happy when all I have to do is just pretend
Then I’m feeling like time moves slow
And I lay and lift the fruit hang low
Low, low, low, let the fruit hang low
Oh girl don’t stop now
Walking through the city like a holy cow
Oh girl don’t stop now
The only way to heaven is a broken vow
Oh girl don’t stop now
Walking through the city like a holy cow
Oh girl don’t stop now
The only way to heaven is a broken vow
The only way to heaven is a broken vow
Oh girl don’t stop now
Walking through the city like a holy cow
Oh girl don’t stop now
The only way to heaven is a broken vow
Oh girl don’t stop now
Walking through the city like a holy cow
Oh girl don’t stop now
The only way to heaven is a broken vow
The only way to heaven is a broken vow
