Holy Ghost
Børns Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, baby, baby
I'm scatterbrained and lost in love
Ooh, I crave it on the daily
That sugar pill that dopes me up

Ooh, it's raining, it's pouring
I picture you in the morning
The hot water and the steam
Oh the way you feel between
Both my hands on your hourglass
The minutes and the hours pass
I wanna watch you bloom
Gimme that sweet perfume

It's making my heart beat so fast
In my mind you're the angel on the painted glass
Looking for high divine connection
I'm a lover in need of confession

Let me satisfy your soul
Not a saint but do I have to be?
Well, baby, you're my holy ghost
And I need you close, come back to me

Baby, baby, baby, baby
I fantasize and I pray
I'm thirsty for your ecstasy
So open up your heavenly gates

Ooh, your tenderness is paradise
Baby, take me there
And I will worship at your feet
You can have my soul to keep

It's making my heart beat so fast
In my mind you're the angel on the painted glass
Looking for high divine connection
I'm a lover in need of confession

Let me satisfy your soul
Not a saint but do I have to be?
Well, baby, you're my holy ghost
And I need you close, come back to me

Back to me, back to me
Back to me, back to me

Let me satisfy your soul
Not a saint but do I have to be?
Well, baby, you're my holy ghost
And I need you close, come back to me

Back to me, back to me

Let me satisfy your body and soul
No, I don't care if it's blasphemy
Cause baby, you're my holy ghost
And I need you close, come back to me

Back to me, back to me, back to me





I'm a holy ghost, I'm a holy ghost
