The Bible

Bell, book and candle
Murder and greed
These are the things
That bring your love to me

How sweet the sentence?
How sweet the lips?
How do you expect
The same face that they kiss?

It's only the Bible
It's only the Bible
You're only a child and
And you're reading too late
It's only the Bible
(Oh, ho)
It's only the Bible
(Oh, ho)
It's only a child
Should leave your soul to me

Harlots are angels
Celibate priests
Contented Romans
Bring your souls to speed

How sweet the flour?
How sweet the cake?
Even at the risk
Of losing my last break

It's only the Bible
It's only the Bible
You're only a child and
And you're reading too late
It's only the Bible
(Oh, ho)
It's only the Bible
(Oh, ho)
It's only a child and
Should leave your soul to me

Blinded by halos
(Halos)
Blood where the fields grow
(Fields grow)
I'm on my way home
(Way)
But I'm not afraid

Bell, book and candle
Murder and greed
These are the things
That bring your love to me

It's only the Bible
It's only the Bible
It's only a child
And you're reading too late
IIt's only the Bible
(Oh, ho)
It's only the Bible
(Oh, ho)
It's only a child
And I need yor faith

It's only the Bible
(Oh, ho)
It's only the Bible
(Oh, ho)
It's only a child
And I need your faith
It's only the Bible
(Oh ho)
It's only the Bible
(Oh ho)
It's only a child
And I need your faith

How long should I wait?
How long should I fake?
How long, 'till my feelings will break?
How long should I wait?
How long should I fake?
How long, 'till my feelings are disgraced?
