Daniel Amos - Virgin Falls lyrics

god and goddess on a silver screen Archetype lovers in a perfect dream We love'em, we leave'em forever clean Then a dirty little secret spoils everything Chorus: Let the virgin fall, let the virgin fall Let the virgin fall, let the virgin fall Saint at the alter on a T.V. set He's walkin' on water and he don't get wet The idolaters say that he's the holiest yet He calls his mistress "Venus" Says she's teacher's perfect pet, gotta let... (Chorus) He was the leader of the people in the land of the free A myth we kept deep frozen in a tragedy But now we know he never was much of a deity And believing in him is harder than it used to be She tried hard to hold on, be his sweet expectation Then she became herself, it k**ed the whole relation (Chorus) Father's dark desires and mother's drastic lies The kids don't really talk to them or look them in the eyes Behind the graven images in the back of their disguise They are the fallen architects of a failing enterprise Chorus:
