Sacred

[Verse 1]

In a hall full of people who turn to look

At the light

And your god's telling you you should bite the hook

Then pulls the line

[Refrain]

Say good night, say good night, say good night

Say good night

Pull the line, pull the line, pull the line

Pull the line

[Verse 2]

And the doctor says there is no guarantee

We'll be fine

But your god's hanging over your mantle piece

So pray for time

[Refrain]

Say good night, say good night, say good night

Say good night

You'll be fine, you'll be fine, you'll be fine

Pay your fine

[Chorus]

You and I both know

Nothing is sacred

Nothing's so good that it wouldn't be taken

You and I both know

Heaven's above us

Who's gonna carry us up?

Someone is choosing

Someone is driving

Some great celestial sign is arriving

You and I both know

What you're sacrificing

What is there left to give up?

[Verse 3]

If the altar was covered in remedies

Cut and dry

Then you'd find me reciting the rosary

By the side

All the saints aren't around anymore

What a shame

But the shrine to the right of your door

Keeps you sane

[Chorus]

You and I both know

Nothing is sacred

Nothing's so good that it wouldn't be taken

You and I both know

Heaven's above us

Who's gonna carry us up?

Someone is choosing

Someone is driving

Some great celestial sign is arriving

You and I both know

What you're sacrificing

What is there left to give up?

[Bridge]

Oh, the lightning

Strikes in the center of dry fields

Rolls through the town in a wildfire

As we all watch from the porch

So the scripture

Lent a predictable picture

Of how we come to extinction

Caught in the eye of the storm

Oh, the lightning

Strikes in the center of dry fields

Runs through the town in a wildfire

As we all watch from the porch

So the scripture

Lent a predictable picture

Of how we come to extinction

Caught in the eye of the storm

[Chorus]

You and I both know

Nothing is sacred

Nothing so good that it wouldn't be taken

You and I both know

Heaven's above us

Who's gonna carry us up?

Someone is choosing

Someone is driving

Some great celestial sign is arriving

You and I both know

What you're sacrificing

What is there left to give up?

[Outro]

Mm-hm-hm

Mm-hm-hm
