Sacred Songs lyrics

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
