The Pimp and the Priest Songtext
von The Dear Hunter

(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)

The Pimp and The Priest pounce on quickened cat′s feet
For the freshest young blood; innocence for the feast
The book will then brew what the sinful commit
While The Pimp and Priest prey quietly where the precious sinners sit

Confess, oh, confess
In the chapel, or brothel, where we suffocate stress
We've got the time if you′ve got the scratch
(Conquer your sins while she screams on her back)

Faster, save me
(While the sins remain hostage)
Harder, I can't breathe

Now The Priest and The Pimp are already equipped
With an enigmatic frontage post: 'We Welcome Walk-ins!′
So we corner our pace and make quick for the door
To be pardoned and passed from the bed to the floor


Confess, oh, confess
In the chapel, or brothel, where we suffocate stress
We′ve got the time if you've got the scratch
(Conquer your sins while she screams on her back)

(Take me to the river)
(Take me to the river)

Faster, save me
(While the sins remain hostage)
Harder, I can′t breathe


Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake

Faster, save me
(While the sins remain hostage)
Harder, I can't breathe
Faster, save me
(While the sins remain hostage)
Harder, I can′t breathe

Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake
Sing softly, bring me to the lake
