    The song is about a lover who tells the singer that the only heaven they'll experience is when they are alone together. The lover says to worship in the bedroom rather than in church. The singer declares they were born sick but love it, and commands themself to be well. The chorus has the singer offering to worship and give their life to their lover, and asking for the "deathless death." It describes a ritual of sacrifice and sin between the lovers.

    Verse 1:
    Em Am Em
    My lover's got humour
    Am G
    She's the giggle at a funeral
    Am Em
    Knows everybody's disapproval
    Am Em
    I should've worshipped her sooner
    Am Em
    If the Heavens ever did speak
    Am G
    She is the last true mouth piece
    Am Em
    Every Sunday's getting more bleak
    Am D
    A fresh poison each week
    C Em
    'We were born sick, you heard them say it

    Am Em
    My church offers no absolutes
    Am G
    She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
    Am Em
    The only heaven I'll be sent to
    Am D
    Is when I'm alone with you
    C
    I was born sick, but I love it

    If I'm a pagan of the good times
    Em Am
    My lover's the sunlight
    G Am
    To keep the Goddess on my side
    Em Am
    She demands a sacrifice
    D
    To drain the whole sea
    C
    Get something shiny

    Em Am Em
    Something meaty for the main course
    Am G
    That's a fine looking high horse
    Am Em
    What you got in the stable?
    Am
    We've a lot of starving faithful
    D

    No masters or kings when the ritual begins
    C G B7 Em
    There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

    Only then I am clean
