Take off those working clothes  Put on these high heeled shoes  Don't want no preacher on the TV baby   Don't want to hear the news    Shut out the world behind us  Put on your long black dress  No one's ever gonna find us here  Just leave your hair in a mess  I've been searching long enough  I begged the moon and the stars above   For sacred love    I've been up, I've been down  I've been lonesome, in this godless town  You're my religion, you're my church  You're the holy grail at the end of my search   Have I been down on my knees for long enough?  I've been searching the planet to find   Sacred love    The spirit moves on the water  She takes the shape of this heavenly daughter  She's rising up like a river in flood   The word got made into flesh and blood  The sky grew dark, and the earth she shook  Just like a prophecy in the Holy Book  Thou shalt not covet, thou shalt not steal  Thou shalt not doubt that this love is real  So I got down on my knees and I prayed to the skies  When I looked up could I trust my eyes?  All the saints and angels and the stars up above  They all bowed down to the flower of creation  Every man every woman  Every race every nation   It all comes down to this   Sacred love    Don't need no doctor, don't need no pills  I got a cure for the country's ills  Here she comes like a river in flood   The word got made into flesh and blood   Thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill  But if you don't love her your best friend will    All the saints up in heaven and the stars up above  It all comes down, it all comes down   It all comes down to love,     Take off your working clothes  Put on your long black dress  And your high heeled shoes  Just leave your hair in a mess    I've been thinking 'bout religion  I've been thinking 'bout the things that we believe  I've been thinking 'bout the Bible  I've been thinking 'bout Adam and Eve  I've been thinking 'bout the garden  I've been thinking 'bout the tree of knowledge, and the tree of life  I've been thinking 'bout forbidden fruit  I've been thinking 'bout a man and his wife    I been thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout   Sacred love, sacred love:
