I like to read and I like to write



But you could persuade me to put the book down tonight



Just please don't ask to be a song heroine



It's not that easy just to stick you in, stick you in



Oh babe, I know you're right



But there's no time and it's not the night



I'd have to face you again and again



Although you know I'd like to stick you in, stick you in



They're all Sacred Songs



They're not easily won



You know the words just seem to live on



The thoughts are sacred



Though the sound is profane



But this and that you know they're



one and the same



one and the same



one and the one and the same



You never know how you're gonna end



I start out hard and I end up thin



You waste your time but you occasionally score



But you can't tell from what went down before, down before



Oh babe, do you see my point?



There's just no time and it's not the night



I'd have to face you again and again



Although you know I'd like to stick it in, stick it in



They're all Sacred Songs



They're not easily won



You know the words just seem to live on



The thoughts are sacred



Though the sound is profane



But this and that you know they're



one and the same



one and the same



one and the one and the same
