[Verse 1]
You walk in
Like you own my worst decisions
Lipstick crooked
Eyes that never ask permission
You bless the ashtray
With your crooked little grin
Say
"Father
I have sinned"
Then you do it all again
[Chorus]
Bad girl gospel
You preach it in my ear
Every wicked little word
Sounds holy when you're near
You take my halo
Hang it on your heel
Bad girl
Bad girl
You make the wrong thing feel so real (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
You trace commandments
On my collar with your nails
Quote the parts you like
Leave the rest to burn in hell
You drink my alibis
From a cracked stained glass
Promise you'll behave
Then laugh as you walk past
[Chorus]
Bad girl gospel
You preach it in my ear
Every wicked little word
Sounds holy when you're near
You take my halo
Hang it on your heel
Bad girl
Bad girl
You make the wrong thing feel so real
[Bridge]
You say
"Call it love
Call it curse
Call it crime"
I just watch your shadow
Climb the wall
Climb my spine
If this is damnation
Let the flames run high
I'd rather burn beside you
Than be clean and dry
[Chorus]
Bad girl gospel
You preach it in my ear (so close)
Every wicked little word
Sounds holy when you're near
You take my halo
Leave it in the dust
Bad girl
Bad girl
Teach a saint to love his lust (hey)
Bad girl
Bad girl
I put my faith in us
