Melissa Etheridge - Like A Preacher lyrics

Are you lying there on the cold dark ground Your skin and bones are bare you stare without a sound What is it in your mind that lights the fuse this time What do you want so bad that you have never had Could it be dangerous to light the flame and just Feel the warmth again make it rise again Remember your last time you tried to let it in It scorched the walls, torched the halls And then it melted your skin Like a preacher save you from the fire I won’t let you burn Like a preacher gonna lift you higher I won’t let you burn Oh I won’t let you burn The feelings you repress the thoughts you don’t confess They grow inside the dark make ashes of your heart You recklessly adore the idols keeping score But no-one ever wins they just start the game again You chose the cross you bare and pick the chains you wear Your heavens in your mind your hell's a valentine Come closer now express this longing so divine On your knees be blessed let it possess you one more time I am a sermonizer, an on the street evangelizer Virtuous and sanctified You innocence is glorified there’s a part that’s incomplete Your hungering is so discrete Take this now for it’s my body a little d**h can be so godly Like a preacher save you from the fire I won’t let you burn I’ll save you Come come Come follow me to the deep inside Where heaven is love is alive Come follow me to the deep inside Where heaven is love is alive
