[tense low register vocal, whisper] [Chorus] [whispered vocals] Sweet Lord, make me pure [pitched-down male voice, whisper] But not yet [whispered vocals] Sweet Lord, make me pure [pitched-down male voice, whisper] But not yet [whispered vocals] Sweet Lord, make me pure [pitched-down male voice, whisper] But not yet [whispered vocals] Sweet Lord, make me pure [pitched-down male voice, whisper] But not yet [Verse 1] [tense, low vocal register] Every minute and every second Never less than every day The siren's call of the mind's confessions In a mess and in dismay We're running wild with the easy pickings Every drop of the wine and the kissing Take a sip of the cup and get stuck in Chase it down, let it burn my gullet And at the end of the day when the lights come on And the beauty of the night is dead and gone And my cheeks are burning And my brain is yearning And I just wanna sleep Sweet Lord, make me pure [Pre-Chorus] [siren call vocal effect] Take me, take me Take me, take me [Chorus] [whispered vocals] Sweet Lord, make me pure [pitched-down male voice, whisper] But not yet [whispered vocals] Sweet Lord, make me pure [pitched-down male voice, whisper] But not yet [whispered vocals] Sweet Lord, make me pure [pitched-down male voice, whisper] But not yet [whispered vocals] Sweet Lord, make me pure [pitched-down male voice, whisper] But not yet [Verse 2] [dark, whispered vocals] Don't let me off, don't set me free Don't take this cup away from me I need it more than you know All those tiny little fires of life The sweet, the salty, the sugar, the spice Are you trying to steal my soul? I'll never know if I never try The sweet embrace of the other side And there's no guarantee that you'll find me The sun will rise, so I'll have time The table's set and I'm hungry It's just one more bite
