Well I caught your eye from across the room
I mistook you for a lighthouse that would lead me from the gloom
Yeah, you were dancing, drunk and defiantly
While I sat like a one-armed guitarist, fretting silently
Well I could see that your faith was torn
I bet your walls would all fall down if I just blow my horn
See, I’ve been wandering through the desert sand
Right now you’re looking like an oasis to a dying man
You caught me looking and you know I know it
You were intrigued but trying not to show it
I bore the cross, now baby don’t deny me
Come on baby, won’t you sanctify me?
I said my prayers for a holy tryst
And then crossed the floor to you to receive my eucharist
My soul was steeled with firm belief
As I begged in supplication for my sweet relief
My seventh drink caught me unawares
My eyes began to blur as we went up the stairs
As darkness fell, I felt the angels’ breath
And baby you read the last rites over my little death
I caught you peeking and you know I know it
Immersed in thirst but trying not to show it
I bore the cross, now baby don’t deny me
Come on baby, won’t you sanctify me?
The flood is coming and I know you know it
I was ashamed and trying not to show it
I bore the cross, now don’t you vilify me
Come on baby, won’t you sanctify me?
