My Religion
Troy Baker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She came in through the window.
Spinnin' round and round
This is how I wanna feel
And the sound fills my soul
Like the sun shining through my window.
Let it flow through my veins
This is my religion
I'll put the needle down
The sky is a laughin'
Oh, it spits us to the ground
Until we burst in through a stereo
Yeah the sound fills my soul
like the sun shining through my window
Let it flow through my veins
This is my religion
This is my religion
Oh! Oh oh!
As I bow my head to pray,
May the verses that they say,
Fall like wine to my lips
This is my Religion
Put the needle down! (This is my religion)
Put the needle down! (This is my religion)
I'll put your needle down! (This is my religion)
Put the needle down!
This is my religion!
