Bad Priestess Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I see you in your new blue jeans
I know you're lying
And I know what it means
When I see you take your place among the poor

[Refrain]

And it has the same effect on a thousand other guys
And I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel the pull too
But the sunlight makes me strong and I know about you

[Refrain]
Bad priestess, bad priestess

[Bridge]
On a Thursday as the sun goes down
Bad priestess
With a super-special eyelash trick

[Refrain]
Bad priestess, bad priestess
