Houses of the Holy lyrics
by Blind Willie Johnson
[Verse 1]
Let me take you to the movie
Can I take you to the show?
Let me be yours ever truly
Can I make your garden grow?
[Verse 2]
From the houses of the holy
We can watch the white doves go
From the door comes Satan's daughter
And it only goes to show
[Refrain]
You know!
[Verse 3]
There's an angel on my shoulder
In my hand a sword of gold
Let me wander in your garden
And the seeds of love I'll sow
[Refrain]
You know!
[Verse 4]
So the world is spinning faster
Are you dizzy when you stall?
Let the music be your master
Will you heed the master's call?
[Refrain]
Oh, Satan and man
[Verse 5]
Said there ain't no use in crying
'Cause it will only, only drive you mad
Does it hurt to hear them lying?
Was this the only world you had?
[Refrain]
Oh, oh
[Verse 1]
So let me take you, take you to the movie
Can I take you, baby, to the show?
Why don't you let me be yours ever truly?
Can I make your garden grow?
[Refrain]
You know! That's right
