JAGGY EDGES - I'm Going to Hell

I followed her down the aisle every Sunday
Close enough to smell her sweet perfume
Took communion when I don't deserve to
Just to kneel beside her like a groom

She never knew that just two rows behind her
As the subject of my one unholy prayer
I was praying I could take her to up to heaven
Or wishing she could meet me halfway there

She had the voice of an angel
And the power of the devil
Every thought I ever had of her was wrong
Just an unforgiven stranger
Trying to summon up a sin
Hoping that there's no one looking on

The hymns are kicking in like Christmas morning
I sing them loud in a kinda harmony
I hope her head will turn and maybe notice
The way she makes me tremble at the knees

And I know I can have her in my dreams
And I'm sure I can take her
To the point where she blasphemes

Lets try a bit of selfish flagellation
I get it now. I know I'm going to hell
I've taken it too far, but when I get there
I want to have a story I can tell

Next Sunday I just might sit right down beside her
And tell her why I do the things I do
If I get her blessing, we can both be left confessing
An immaculate conception in the pews

She had the voice of an angel
And the power of the devil
Every thought I ever had of her was wrong
Just an unforgiven stranger
Trying to summon up a sin
Hoping that there's no one looking on
