Elton John - Religion lyrics

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album too low for zero<br><br>Well he could almost taste the money<br>But he was sitting in a den of thieves<br>Looking for the great awakening<br>Trying to find a way to leave<br>But that's when he got religion<br>And the light went on inside<br>He said somebody up there likes me<br>Now he's working for the holy guide<br><br>He got drunk but he don't remember<br>That he'd been drinking in a bar downtown<br>When he thought he heard a choir of angels<br>Singing in the tiki lounge<br>And that's when he got religion<br>From no salesman on tv<br>Just a tap on the shoulder in the parking lot<br>He still drinks but he does believe<br><br>Religion, you do the best you can<br>We all make the same mistakes<br>We're gonna wind up with the man<br><br>Religion, oh you do the best you can<br>We all make the same mistakes<br>We're gonna wind up with the man<br><br>She was silent as he paid her<br>But the thanks she got was next to none<br>And as her car pulled out of the motel<br>She felt the presence of someone<br>And that's when she got religion<br>In the front of a compact ford<br>Just a gentle voice on the stereo<br>Now she's a working girl who loves the lord
