The Pimp and the Priest by The Dear Hunter Lyrics
[Intro]
(Take me to the river
Take me to the river)
[Verse 1]
The pimp and the priest pounce on quickened cats' 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
[Pre-Chorus]
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)
[Chorus]
Faster, save me
How the sins remain hostage
Harder, I can't breathe
[Verse 2]
Now the priest and the pimp are already equipped
With an enigmatic frontage posts "we welcome walk-ins"
So we corner our pace and make quick for the door
To be prodded and passed from the bed to the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
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)
[Bridge]
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
[Chorus]
Faster, save me
How the sins remain hostage
Harder, I can't breathe
[Interlude]
Sing softly, sing 'em to the lake
Sing softly, bring 'em to the lake
Sing softly, sing 'em to the lake
Sing softly, bring 'em to the lake
Sing softly, sing 'em to the lake
Sing softly, bring 'em to the lake
Sing softly, sing 'em to the lake
Sing softly, bring 'em to the lake
Sing softly, sing 'em to the lake
Sing softly, bring 'em to the lake
Sing softly, sing 'em to the lake
Sing softly, bring 'em to the lake
Sing softly, sing 'em to the lake
Sing softly, bring 'em to the lake
Sing softly, sing 'em to the lake
Sing softly, bring 'em to the lake
Sing softly, sing 'em to the lake
Sing softly, bring 'em to the lake
Sing softly, sing 'em to the lake
Sing softly, bring 'em to the lake
Sing softly, sing 'em to the lake
Sing softly, bring 'em to the lake
Sing softly, sing 'em to the lake
Sing softly, bring 'em to the lake
[Chorus]
Faster, save me (Take me to the river)
How the sins remain hostage
Harder, I can't breathe (Take me to the river)
Faster, save me (Take me to the river)
How the sins remain hostage
Harder, I can't breathe (Take me to the river)
[Outro]
Sing softly, sing 'em to the lake
Sing softly, bring 'em to the lake
Sing softly, sing 'em to the lake
Sing softly, bring 'em to the lake
Sing softly, sing 'em to the lake
Sing softly, bring 'em to the lake
Sing softly, sing 'em to the lake
Sing softly, bring 'em to the lake
(Take me to the river
Take me to the river)
