This is as good a place to fall as any
We'll build our alter here
Make me your Maria
I'm already on my knees
You had Jesus on your breath
And I caught him in mine
Sweating our confessions
The undone and the divine
'Cause this is his body
This is his blood
Such selfish prayers
And I can't get enough
Spilled milk tears,
I did this for you
Spilling over the idol
The black and the blue
The sweetest submission
Drinking it in
The wine, the women, the bedroom hymns
'Cause this is his body
This is his love
Such selfish prayers
And I can't get enough
'Cause
I'm not here looking for absolution
Because I found myself an old solution
I'm not here looking for absolution
Because I found myself an old solution
This is his body
This is his love
Such selfish prayers,
I can't get enough
This is his body
This is his love
Such selfish prayers,
I can't get enough
We'll build our alter here
Make me your Maria
I'm already on my knees
You had Jesus on your breath
And I caught him in mine
Sweating our confessions
The undone and the divine
'Cause this is his body
This is his blood
Such selfish prayers
And I can't get enough
Spilled milk tears,
I did this for you
Spilling over the idol
The black and the blue
The sweetest submission
Drinking it in
The wine, the women, the bedroom hymns
'Cause this is his body
This is his love
Such selfish prayers
And I can't get enough
'Cause
I'm not here looking for absolution
Because I found myself an old solution
I'm not here looking for absolution
Because I found myself an old solution
This is his body
This is his love
Such selfish prayers,
I can't get enough
This is his body
This is his love
Such selfish prayers,
I can't get enough

For me, this song is paying homage to sex and lust with the use of religious references.
Here are my literal interpretations of some of the lyrics (excuse my dirty mind and lack of eloquence):
This is as good a place to fall as any (We can die here and enter heaven) We'll build our altar here (we'll build a religious structure where religious rites and acts are performed; comparing sex to a sacred act) Make me your Maria (this sounds incredibly kinky to me... reference to Virgin Mary. I'd look into this further but I'm lazy atm.) I'm already on my knees (she's on her knees in prayer and/or possibly giving or anticipating fellatio)
You had Jesus on your breath (Jesus = a divine pleasure) And I caught him in mine (shared breaths meaning that they're being intimate; catching Jesus in her breath = the feeling of very divine, euphoric, and otherworldly (pleasure and/or orgasm?) is mutual) Sweating out confessions (sweating out confessions, worries, and sins through lovemaking; they are not focused on their problems) The undone and the divine (the act is flawed and divine at the same time)
This is his body (comparing his body to Jesus) This is his love (comparing his love to Jesus) Such selfish prayers and I can't get enough, oh (prayer's = wishes and desires; can't get enough of his lovin')
An "homage to sex and lust"? Great interpretation. Why are called "bobeeny"?
Oopsy you
@emu, Thanks =) and because my name rhymes with it and is kind of a nickname.
