Hall Oates Sacred Songs Lyrics

Sacred Songs Lyrics

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
