lyrics

Here I go again draggin my feet
here I go again runnin for dear life
here I go again chasin my dreams
like a madwoman with an old dull butcher knife
here I go again running out of steam
here I go again scraping at the vestiges of my esteem

You can’t own the sacred
and you can’t own this sacred heart

What do you know about anything good?
What do you know about anything holy?
What do you know about sacrifice,
or the face of Jesus Christ in the so-called lowly?
What do you know about talking out of line?
You're preachin to the poor while you’re sittin on a gold mine

You can’t own the sacred
and you can’t on this sacred heart

Paranoia/suspicion, passing for faith passing for religion
while little boys in power positions
compete with one another over tithing parishioners
and I’m just a girl with a terrible vision of
Love, Love, Love,
Love.

So here I go again draggin my feet
here I go again runnin for dear life
here I go again chasin my dreams
like a madwoman with an old dull butcher knife
here I go again running out of steam
here I go again scraping at the vestiges of my esteem

You can’t own the sacred
you can’t own the sacred
you can’t own the sacred
and you can’t own this sacred heart.
