A Perfect Circle
Magdalena
[Verse 1]
Overcome by your
Moving temple
Overcome by this
Holiest of altars
[Chorus]
So pure, so rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That I've lost my self-control
Beyond compelled to throw this dollar...
[Verse 2]
...Down before your
Holiest of altars
[Chorus]
I'd sell my soul
And my self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one chance, one kiss
One taste of you, my Magdalena
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
I bear witness
To this place, this prayer, so long forgotten
So pure, so rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
[Chorus]
That I'd sell my soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one chance, one kiss
One taste of you, my black Madonna
[Outro]
I'd sell my soul
And my self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one taste, one taste
One taste of you, my Magdalena
