A Perfect Circle - Magdalena

overcome by your
moving temple
overcome by this
holiest of altars
so pure
so rare
to witness such a lovely goddess


i lost my self control
beyond compelled to throw this dollar down
before your
holiest of altars


i'll sell
my soul
my self esteem
a dollar at a time


for one chance
one kiss
one taste of you my magdalena


i've beared witness
to this place, this prayer, so long forgotten
so pure, so rare, to witness such a lovely goddess


and i'd sell
my soul
my self-esteem a dollar at a time


for one chance
one kiss
one taste of you my black madonna


i'll sell
my soul
my self-esteem a dollar at a time


for one taste
one taste
one taste of you my magdalena
