A Perfect Circle Magdelena Lyrics

Magdelena Lyrics

Overcome by your moving temple 

Overcome by this holiest of altars 



So pure, so rare 

To witness such an earthly goddess 

That I've lost my self control 

Beyond compelled to throw this dollar 

Down before your holiest of altars 



I'd sell my soul 

My self-esteem a dollar at a time 

For one chance, one kiss 

One taste of you, my Magdalena 



I bear witness 

This place, this prayer, so long forgotten 

So pure, so rare 

To witness such an earthly goddess 



That I'd sell my soul 

My self-esteem a dollar at a time 

For one chance, one kiss 

One taste of you, my black Madonna 



I'd sell my soul 

My self-esteem a dollar at a time 

One taste, one taste 

One taste of you, my Magdalena
