lyrics

Here we kneel at the altar,
and listen to the faithful whisper.
They made a witch out of me, see.

You press your guilt against me,
and hope I'll relieve you again.
You made a witch out of me, see.

Not here, not now.
I can't fill your need.
Not here, not ever.
You won't spill your seed.

You stole the sun out of me,
and offered it to the priests.
They made a man out of you, too.

You found the needle in your lap,
and searched my skin for a tap.
I made a man out of you, too.

And I couldn't feel you coming.
And you-you never heard me leave.

Not here, not now.
I can't help you feed.
Not here, not ever.
You won't spill your seed.

I love the way you pray.
I love the way you kneel.
I love the way you say,
"It's time we make a deal."
I love the way you kneel.
I love the way you sin.
I love the way you steal
the truth you made from tin.
I love the way you sin.
I love the way you kneel.
I love when you begin.
"It's time we make a deal."
