Bedroom Hymns.....

This is as good a place to fall as any
We'll build our alter here
Make me your Maria
I'm already on my knees

You had Jesus on your breath
And I caught him in mine
Sweating our confessions
The undone and the divine


Such selfish prayers
And I can't get enough


Spilled milk tears,
I did this for you
Spilling over the idol
The black and the blue


The sweetest submission
Drinking it in
The wine, the women, the bedroom hymns



I'm not here looking for absolution
Because I found myself an old solution
