lyrics

Let me buy you a drink
Take you up the hill
The night is young
And we've got time to kill
Build up an altar,
Light up the fire
Ignore the thrashing ram
All caught up in the briar

You're my sacrificial lamb
No angel's gonna come and try to stay my hand
The night is clear and starry
But nobody gives a damn
That you're my sacrificial lamb

Gonna tie you up and hitch you
To the side of my hip
God may be watching
But he don't give a rip
The wine's gone to vinegar
Confetti's blown away
I'll take you to a higher place
But there is a price to pay.

You're my sacrificial lamb
No angel's gonna come to try and stay my hand
This ain't the bible
And I'm no Abraham
But you're my sacrificial lamb

Got a little rope
Got a little coal
Got a little knife
So we're all set to roll
If you want some magic,
This is what I can do
Just say the magic word
And the knife will follow through

You're my sacrificial lamb
No angel's gonna come to try and stay my hand
This ain't the Akedah
Nobody gives a damn
That you're my sacrificial lamb.
