Daniel Amos
Virgin Falls
[Verse 1]
God and goddess on a silver screen
Archetype lovers in a perfect dream
We love 'em, we leave 'em forever clean
Then a dirty little secret spoils everything

[Chorus]
Let the virgin fall
Let the virgin fall
Let the virgin fall
Let the virgin fall

[Verse 2]
Saint at the altar on a TV set
He's walking on water, and he don't get wet
The idolaters say that he's the holiest yet
He calls his mistress "Venus," says she's teacher's perfect pet

[Chorus]
Gotta let the virgin fall
Let the virgin fall
Let the virgin fall
Let the virgin fall

[Verse 3]
He was the leader of the people in the land of the free
A myth we kept deep frozen in a tragedy
But now we know he never was much of a deity
And believing in him's harder than it used to be

[Bridge 1]
She tried to hold on
Be his sweet expectation
Then she became herself
It killed the whole relation

[Chorus]
Let the virgin fall
Let the virgin fall
Let the virgin fall
Let the virgin fall

[Bridge 2]
Father's dark desires and mother's drastic lies
The kids don't really talk to them or look them in the eyes
Behind the graven images in the back of their disguise
They are the fallen architects of a failing enterprise

[Chorus]
Let the
Let the
Let the
Let the
Let the
Let the
Let the
Let the virgin fall
Let the virgin fall
Let the virgin fall
Let the virgin fall
