Forty days you've been tired and tempted,
Forty nights you've been out in the cold,
Every phoneline conversation's been intercepted,
And you can't reconnect 'cos the frequency is closed

So many miles you've been out of direction,
So many signs but you ain't got nowhere to go
Your Cadillac has got it's headlights disconnected,
Rolling your wheels down the wrong side of the road

Can you see them now?
Can you see them now?
Can you see the sisters swinging, yeah?
Can you hear them now?
Can you hear them now?
Can you hear the brothers singing, yeah?

Let's go back to church,
Let's go back to church,
So damn long since we sung this song,
Let's go back to church

Let's go back to church,
Let's go back to church,
Any day now, anyway, anyhow,
Let's go back to church

You drank the wine but it, it tastes like water
You broke the bread but it had turned to stone
Your sacrament it lay scattered on the pavement
And the covenants you kept have all been stolen and sold

You can see them now,
Yeah, you can see them now,
You can see the sisters swinging yeah
I know, yeah, you can hear them now
Yeah, you can hear them now
You can hear the brothers singing yeah

Let's go back to church,
Let's go back to church,
So damn long since we sung this song,
Let's go back to church

Let's go back to church, yeah,
Let's go back to church,
Any day now, anyway, anyhow,
Let's go back to church
Right back!

Oh lord knows I,
Oh lord knows I,
Oh lord knows I,
I've been converted
