Take off those working clothes
Put on these high heeled shoes
Dont want no preacher on the TV baby
Dont want to hear the news
Shut out the world behind us
Put on your long black dress
No ones ever gonna find us here
Just leave your hair in a mess
Ive been searching long enough
I begged the moon and the stars above
For sacred love
Ive been up, Ive been down
Ive been lonesome, in this godless town
Youre my religion, youre my church
Youre the holy grail at the end of my search
Have I been down on my knees for long enough?
Ive been searching the planet to find
Sacred love
The spirit moves on the water
She takes the shape of this heavenly daughter
Shes rising up like a river in flood
The word got made into flesh and blood
The sky grew dark, and the earth she shook
Just like a prophecy in the Holy Book
Thou shalt not covet, thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not doubt that this love is real
So I got down on my knees and I prayed to the skies
When I looked up could I trust my eyes?
All the saints and angels and the stars up above
They all bowed down to the flower of creation
Every man every woman
Every race every nation
It all comes down to this
Sacred love
Dont need no doctor, dont need no pills
I got a cure for the countrys ills
Here she comes like a river in flood
The word got made into flesh and blood
Thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill
But if you dont love her your best friend will
All the saints up in heaven and the stars up above
It all comes down, it all comes down
It all comes down to love,
Take off your working clothes
Put on your long black dress
And your high heeled shoes
Just leave your hair in a mess
Ive been thinking bout religion
Ive been thinking bout the things that we believe
Ive been thinking bout the Bible
Ive been thinking bout Adam and Eve
Ive been thinking bout the garden
Ive been thinking bout the tree of knowledge, and the tree of life
Ive been thinking bout forbidden fruit
Ive been thinking bout a man and his wife
I been thinking bout, thinking bout
Sacred love, sacred love:
