Sex And The Church lyrics

(Bowie)

Though the idea of convulsion/confession?
is said to be
The union of christ and his bride
The christian
It's all very puzzling

Sex and the church (x3)
And the church...and the church

All the great mystic religions
Put strong emphasis, on
The redeeming spiritual qualities
Of sex...of sex
Christianity
Has been pretty modern
About sex

Of sex (x4)
Sex and the church (x3)
Sex...sex

I think there is a union
Between the flesh and the spirit
Sex and the church (x2)


All religions' mother (spoken)

VERSE (twice)
Give me the freedom of spirit
And the joys of the flesh
And sex...sex...
Sex and the church

CHORUS (twice)
Sex and the church (x3)
And the church...and the church
Sex
Sex
Sex and the church (x3)
Sex...sex...sex

Sex

Sex and the church (x3)
Sex...sex
