The Reverend

by Westerner

/

about

The Reverend is about a pop star who lives in a dystopian future and performs at the hottest club in Unreal City. He's like a cross between Charles Manson and David Bowie. People flock to the club, The Rubber Room, at every opportunity to submerge themselves in excess and the bacchanalian revelry. Originally part of the concept album, Unreal City, the band found that the song was incredibly popular and merited a re-recording.

lyrics

Who are you in that light?
I gotta know you by tonight.
The way you're moving on the floor
It makes me feel like an animal.

I'll make you move like I know that you wanna do.
I’ll make you feel like I know that you wanna do.
The way you get inside my head
It makes me feel like I wanna be bad.

I wanna sing hallelujah.
I wanna get down and give it to ya.
I wanna get ya down on your knees.
Say a prayer for me.

You turn my engine on.
(He does the 2 and the 4)
That’s a plagiarism if I ever heard one.
(He likes to swing around)
If I got my head checked out
(He don't know what he's been told)
They'd find you in there messing about.
(Everybody's gonna grow old)

I got a taste of your little equivocator.
I liked it so much I applied my oscillator.
Legs to the sun like an electric modulator.
Givin' out frequencies of fuck and I'm an amplifier.

I wanna sing hallelujah.
I wanna get down and give it to ya.
I wanna get ya down on your knees.
Say a prayer for me.

I'm the VIP of the rubber room
And I’m crazy about two things: you and you.
I'm in a pussy riot 9 to 5.
Everybody on the floor and make your momma cry.

You make me fantasize
Of your sweet enterprise.
Your ass is as vast as a spacecraft
Comfortably seating a crew of 3.

Ecstasy, jasmine tea, college degrees,
Raspberries, and vitamin C
Are good for you, but so is doob.
We’ll go to hell for what I wanna do.

You are stacked and that is a fact.
Frank Lloyd Wright would appreciate that.
I am pious, I am zealous.
I'm religious about your ass.

I got the flyest moves on the floor.
All the guys are jealous, all the girls want more.
Who needs your momma’s house
When I got the club?

I wanna sing hallelujah.
I wanna get down and give it to ya.
I wanna get ya down on your knees.
Say a prayer for me.

I wanna sing hallelujah.
I wanna get down and give it to ya.
I wanna get ya down on your knees.
Say a prayer for me.
