God and goddess on a silver screen,

Let the virgin fall, let the virgin fall.

Saint at the altar on a TV set,
He's walking on the water and he don't get wet,

Gotta let the virgin fall, let the virgin fall,
Let the virgin fall, let the virgin fall.

Let the virgin fall, let the virgin fall,
Let the virgin fall, let the virgin fall.

The kids don't really talk to them or look them in the eyes,
Behind the graven images, in the back of their disguise, they are the fallen architects of a failing enterprise.

Let the...(fall)
Let the...(fall)

Let the virgin fall, let the virgin fall,
Let the virgin fall, let the virgin fall.
