This is the one hundred and tenth installment in the Songs of Sacrilege series. This is a series that I would like readers to help me with. If you know of a song that is irreverent towards religion, makes fun of religion, pokes fun at sincerely held religious beliefs, or challenges the firmly held religious beliefs of others, please send me an email.
Today’s Song of Sacrilege is Kill the Lights by Matt Nathanson.
My head’s a stereo I can’t turn off.
You said I should learn to sing along.
In your bedroom out on taraval,
We were haunted by everything we wanted.
Kill the lights,
I’m afraid of nothing.
The church of your curves,
The ghost inside us,
The last temptation.
The night is young, but we are younger.
Time is on our side.
Kill the lights.
I found religion at the record store.
I found heaven on your kitchen floor.
You be stunning, baby, I’ll be stunned.
Keep glowing, I’ll follow your explosions
Kill the lights,
I’m afraid of nothing.
The church of your curves,
The ghost inside us,
The last temptation.
The night is young, but we are younger.
Time is on our side.
Kill the lights.
Of all the things I left undone,
I don’t miss a single one.
When everything felt good
I’d fall apart.
All the things I couldn’t see,
Standing right in front of me.
Your body pushed against me
In the dark
