Church of Women

A lie for a lie,
But a truth for the truth...

Church of women
Is made out of milk
Which their love turns to butter

Church of women
Will have you give praise
With a laugh, bark and stutter

Like us men, like us men
They are nothing like us men
Men have gargoyles round their hearts
I'm on my knees but dancing

Want to worship at the church of women
Breathe 'em in until my head goes spinning round
Want to worship at the church
Let me worship at the church of women

Church of women
Is making donations
Of loving and giving

Church of women
Performing that miracle
Raising the living

Like us men, like us men
Will they ever like us men?
Men have thorns around their minds
I'm on my mount and preaching

Want to worship at the church of women
Breathe 'em in until my head goes spinning round
Want to worship at the church
Let me worship at the church of women

A lie for a lie
But a truth for the truth
Give 'em back their house
The walls, the doors
The floors and roof
And stop trying to diet 'em on wafers and wine
And some myth we're in control

Now let's put things right
Let's multiply
The loaves and kisses
'Til we have enough to love and eat forever

Want to worship at the church of women
Breathe 'em in until my head goes spinning round
Want to worship at the church
Let me worship at the church of women
Worship at the church of women now
