warren zevon - dirty little religion lyrics

(warren zevon)
i like to think i've earned my reputation
for rushing in where angels fear to tread
i'll take you home to meet the congregation
we'll all get together in my tent

i make a dirty little religion out of lovin'
i'll make a dirty little convert out of you
i make a dirty little religion out of lovin'
i'll make a dirty little convert out of you

they treat you like a red-headed stepchild
and try to keep you nailed to the floor
join us for the countdown to the rapture
we never turned a sinner from our door

i make a dirty little religion out of lovin'
i'll make a dirty little convert out of you
i make a dirty little religion out of lovin'
it's a dirty little religion, hallelujah

dirty little acolyte
dirty little one
learn the fundamentals of desire
can i get a witness
to my testament?
can i get an amen from the choir?

i like to think i've earned my reputation
for trying to take the bull by the horns
i'll show you where i get my inspiration
where we plow and where we plant the corn

i make a dirty little religion out of lovin'
i'll make a dirty little convert out of you
i make a dirty little religion out of lovin'
it's a dirty little religion, hallelujah

dirty little acolyte
dirty little one
you'll learn the fundamentals of desire
can i get a witness
to my testament?
can i get an amen from the choir?
