Cat Power Bad Religion Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Taxi driver
Be my shrink for the hour
Keep the meter running
Take every street if you wanna
Just outrun these demons, could you?

[Chorus]
And he said, "Praise the Lord"
"Hallelujah, little girl"
"You need prayer"
As if it won't hurt me
If it didn't bring me to my knees
All these bad religions
This unrequited love
It's nothin' but a one-man cult
Cyanide in my styrofoam cup
I could never make him love
I could never make him love
Just a scrounging through the wall

[Verse 2]
Taxi driver
Swear I got fifteen lives
Balanced on my head like steak knives
I can't tell no one the truth about my life
I can't trust no one
[Chorus]
And he said, "Praise the Lord" "Hallelujah, woman"
"Woman, you need prayer"
The city keeps hurting me
Keeps bringing me to my knees
All these bad religions
This unrequited love
Nothing but a one-man cult
Cyanide in our styrofoam cups
I could never make them love
We could never make them love
We're all just stuck in the mud
Praying to the invisible above

[Outro]
(Love) We scream
Love (Love)
We scream
Love, love, love, love (Love, love)
(Love, love) It's what we all made up
(Love)
Love
(Love) Love, love-love
Love, love, love (Love, love)
(Love, love) Only the best for us
Love, love
Love, love
(Love, love) Love, love
(Love, love)
(Love)
Love
