I saw you watchin' the priest
As he walked up with the box
He looked just like James Dean
Ya put on your sunglasses
Ya held your breath
You thought he was beautiful
But then you heard his silent scream
As he spread the dead man's ashes
You're always
tryin' to heal yourself
Through someone else's sin
Turn the thieves
out of the temple baby
Let me in
It's the religion of the heart
Religion of the heart
You're my religion
It's the religion of the heart
You are the reason I breathe
You're in my system
Yeah
Religion of the heart
You drink their wine
But you're still
thirsty all the time
No miracles tonight
No midnight masses
It'll be okay in the cool clear
Bright light of the day
And I'm just your confessor
When the passion passes
You're always tryin'
to find your worth
In the eyes of someone new
And I am no king of kings baby
But my aim is true
In the religion of the heart
Religion of the heart
You're my religion
It's the religion of the heart
You are the reason I breathe
You're in my system
Yeah
Religion of the heart
You think that I am only joking
But it all comes down to nothin'
And I'm just talking
through the beer
But I'm not no I'm not
And I'll stand in the field of fire
Yeah
It's the religion of the heart
Religion of the heart
You're my religion
It's the religion of the heart
You are the reason I breathe
You're in my system
Yeah
Religion of the heart
Oh religion of the heart
