I like to read and I like to write
But you could persuade me to put the book down tonight
Just please don`t ask to be a song heroine
It`s not that easy just to stick you in, stick you in
Oh babe, I know you`re right
But there`s no time and it`s not the night
I`d have to face you again and again
Although you know I`d like to stick you in, stick you in
They`re all Sacred Songs
They`re not easily won
You know the words just seem to live on
The thoughts are sacred
Though the sound is profane
But this and that you know they`re
one and the same
one and the same
one and the one and the same
You never know how you`re gonna end
I start out hard and I end up thin
You waste your time but you occasionally score
But you can`t tell from what went down before, down before
Oh babe, do you see my point?
There`s just no time and it`s not the night
I`d have to face you again and again
Although you know I`d like to stick it in, stick it in
They`re all Sacred Songs
They`re not easily won
You know the words just seem to live on
The thoughts are sacred
Though the sound is profane
But this and that you know they`re
one and the same
one and the same
one and the one and the same
