Billy Howerdel
Magdalena (Live)
[Verse 1]
Overcome by your
Moving temple
Overcome by this
Holiest of altars

[Chorus 1]
So pure, so rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That I've lost my self control
Beyond compelled to throw this dollar

[Verse 2]
Down before your
Holiest of altars

[Chorus 2]
I'd sell my soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one chance, one kiss
One taste of you my Magdalena

[Bridge]
I bear witness
To 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

[Chorus 3]
I'd sell my soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
One taste, one taste
One taste of you my Magdalena
