God and goddess on a silver screen,
Archetype lovers in a perfect dream,
We love 'em,

Then a dirty little secret spoils everything.

Let the virgin fall, let the virgin fall,
Let the virgin fall, let the virgin fall.

Saint at the alter on a TV set,
He's walking on the 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."

Gotta let the virgin fall, let the virgin fall,
Let the virgin fall, let the virgin fall.

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.

Let the virgin fall, let the virgin fall,
Let the virgin fall, let the virgin fall.

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.

Let the...(fall)
Let the...(fall)
Let the...(fall)
Let the...(fall)
Let the...(fall)
Let the virgin fall, let the virgin fall,
Let the virgin fall, let the virgin fall.
