[Verse 1]
The Virgin Mary on a chain
Has hit me in the mouth again
As we explore the carnal score
Of sacred and profane

[Verse 2]
Sulky boy won't drink his milk
So mother's breast beneath the silk
Remains untouched, it's way too much
Reject all of that ilk

[Chorus]
I have to say it makes me wonder
If you are holding me
To the same blue flame that you are under
'Cause I feel you scolding me

[Post-Chorus]
It makes me wonder (makes me wonder)
It makes me wonder (makes me wonder)

[Verse 3]
Your Virgin Mary's in the way
Hallucinate her face by day
Obscure the view in front of you
It's me here made of clay
[Verse 4]
You're playing near that line so thin
Austerity? Or just give in
To endless appetite
Embrace that white oblivion?

[Chorus]
I have to say it makes me wonder
If you are holding me
(If you are holding me)
(If you are holding me)
(If you are holding me)
To that cold blue flame that you are under
When you are holding me
(When you are holding me)
(When you are holding me)
(When you are holding me)

[Bridge]
And why so high the expectation?
Who could live up to this?
And there's no time now for explanation
Cool as an angel's kiss

[Chorus]
And I have to say it makes me wonder
If you were holding me
(If you were holding me)
(If you were holding me)
(If you were holding me)
To that cold blue flame that you were under
When you were holding me
(When you were holding me)
(When you were holding me)
(When you were holding me)
[Outro]
It makes me wonder
(Have to say)
(Have to say)
It makes me wonder
(Have to say)
(Have to say)
It makes me wonder
(Have to say)
(Have to say)
It makes me wonder
