She told Q magazine that the description of 'an ecstatic exorcism' is "a perfect way to describe" Ceremonials. "What's been exorcised?" the "Dog Days Are Over" singer continued: "Self-doubt. Guilt. Pain. And constant questioning of who I am and where my morals lie. What's my attitude to love and am I happy, am I sad and oh God, Jesus Christ help me! It's a lot to do with being away so much and the difference between being a performer and trying to be in a relationship. It's a constant battle between good and bad, chaos and control."

[Verse 1]
I trusted a priest
I fell to his feet
And he raised me up there
Then cut me off at the knees
I trusted the law
They didn’t help me at all
I wound up black, blue, screwed
In the back of his car

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna wake up alone
I need you to hear me now
I don't wanna do it alone
I need you here with me now

[Chorus]
I don't wanna wait for your love
I need you to save me now
They got me and I'll never give up
But I need you to save me now
Well, they feed upon the poor
My head is banging on the floor
Yes it's over, yes it's over
They're lying
I don't wanna wait for your love
I need you to save me now
Save me now

[Verse 2]
I once had a girl
I gave her my world
But she played around, put me down
Still wanted the pearl
So I went to a priest
Yes, I fell to his feet
And he just raised me up
To cut me off at the knees

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna wake up alone
I need you to hear me now
I don't wanna do it alone
I need you here with me now

[Chorus]
I don't wanna wait for your love
I need you to save me now
They got me and I'll never give up
But I need you to save me now
'cause the priest and the law
Truth is pounding at the door
Yes it’s over, yes it’s over
They’re dying
I don't wanna wait for your love
I need you to save me now
Save me now

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna wake up alone
I need you to hear me now
I don’t wanna do it alone
I need you here with me now

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna wait for your love
I need you to save me now
They got me and I'll never give up
But I need you to save me now
Well, they feed upon the poor
My head is banging on the floor
Yes it's over, yes it's over
They're lying
I don't wanna wait for your love
I need you to save me now
Save me now
