exorcise me

come and exorcise me
bring your faith and see if
that will humanize me
I think I want to let you criticize me;
but don't despise me in the morning
when we're both here lying -

kiss your crucifix and show
your love (your lips are red)
and let your prayers rise so
far above (it's going to my head)
but watch me as i let my body
writhe (it's not just a satanic trance)
are you sure you want to
stand so close beside me
(come closer)

come and exorcise me
bring your faith and see if
that will humanize me
I think I want to let you criticize me;
but don't despise me in the morning
when we're both here lying -

i like to watch you on
your knees (while I stand shaking)
i like to think of you begging
me, please (as I sit over you)
and i can see the beads of your
rosary (it would look good on my throat)
are shaking in your hands and don't
you want to stand right here
(or at least strip right here)

come and exorcise me
bring your faith and see if
that will humanize me
I think I want to let you criticize me;
but don't despise me in the morning
when we're both here lying -

oh look at me lying here with my
hand tied and see the way my
hips arch under my screams and
don't you think you just might rise
to the occasion and call it a fall -
fall fall on top of me
