Hope I Please The Gods

Hope I Please The Gods Suzan Stroud

Verse 1
You chase me through the jungle
And then play hard to get
If we’re not playing games
Then why am I in your net

Tr Bridge
I’ve got your kiss on the base of my throat
And the bite of your teeth on my pulse

Chorus
You tie me to your alter
And pierce my pagan heart
I’m sacrificed to your ego
Hope I please the gods

Verse 2
You see me as the savage
That’s good enough to hold you
That’s good enough to give my heart
But always placed below you

Tr Bridge
I’ve got your hands on the arch of my back
And my pride in the spit on my tongue

Chorus
You tie me to your alter
And pierce my pagan heart
I’m sacrificed to your ego
Hope I please the gods

Instrumental

Chorus
You tie me to your alter
And pierce my pagan heart
I’m sacrificed to your ego
Hope I please the gods

Verse 3
The passion that ran through me
Has turned from lava to lead
And I can’t help but wondering
If we should have played Parcheesi instead

Tr Bridge
I feel the beat of my heart in my chest
And I don’t know why it still works

Chorus
You tie me to your alter
And pierce my pagan heart
I’m sacrificed to your ego
Hope I please the gods

Hope I please the gods
Hope I please the gods
I’m sacrificed to your ego
Hope I please the gods
