Sacred Songs Lyrics - Hall & Oates

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
