Midnight Altar Boys

Lyrics

Verse 1
You walk in
Late pew
Back row
Lip ring
Black coat
Eyes say
“take me home”
Candles drip
On your knuckles when you fold your hands
You ain’t here for saving
You want every part of me instead

Chorus
Kiss me at the altar
Boy
Make me lose my breath
My voice
Let that holy sweat
Run down your neck
Hallelujah on your tongue
Oh God
When you say my name so rough
So soft
Praise me
Taste me
Like I’m all you ever wanted

Verse 2
Choir moans
Every note just bends
Like they know
Every thought in my head
You lean close
Whisper filth in a sacred place
Got me shaking
While I’m staring at your perfect face

Chorus
Kiss me at the altar
Boy
Make me lose my breath
My voice
Let that holy sweat
Run down your neck
Hallelujah on your tongue
Oh God
When you say my name so rough
So soft
Praise me
Taste me
Like I’m all you ever wanted

Bridge
Hands on my hips in the dark of the balcony (oh)
Teeth on my throat while the organ is drowning me
All of these sins feel sweeter than heaven to me
Let the choir sing low
Let the choir sing low

Chorus
Kiss me at the altar
Boy
Make me lose my breath
My voice
Let that holy sweat
Run down your neck
Hallelujah on your tongue
Oh God
When you say my name so rough
So soft
Praise me
Taste me
Like I’m all you ever wanted
