You're Going To Be Something Extraordinary

"--You're going to be a human being. Take care of them, Steven."


My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
Should've worshipped her sooner

If the Heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
Fresh poison each week

"We were born sick," you heard them say it

My church offers no absolutes
She tells me worship in the bedroom
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you

I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
Amen. Amen. Amen


Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life


If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice

To drain the whole sea
Get something shiny

Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine looking high horse

What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful

That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work


Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life


No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Amen. Amen. Amen


Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life


My gosh so many parts of that song make me think of Greg Universe/Rose Quartz/Steven Universe and everything that happened between them. Like the Gems (or at least Pearl) disapproving, 'my lover's got humor', the sacrifice, 'only then I am human', 'let me give you my life', The goddess, 'that sad earthly scene', 'offer me that deathless death' etc etc.
MAYBE I'M LOOKING TOO MUCH INTO TO BUT DAMN I LOVE ROSE QUARTZ SHE DA BEST MAMA.
