Christian Woman

*Play this song on YouTube.*

"**Christian Woman**" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their third album *Bloody Kisses*, released in 1993. It is the band's landmark song that propelled Type O Negative into mainstream popularity. It has '80s new wave edge. The song is about a Christian woman complicating her thoughts about God. Pete Steele told *Revolver*, "[Christian woman] would get off on breaking the rules a little bit. She would ask me to dress up as a priest and, well, I guess you can just imagine what would happen after that. So, I guess you could say I have a bit of a priest infection."

This song is split into three cantos. The first canto, "Body of Christ (Corpus Christi)", is a radio hit and the only canto played on the single. The second canto, "To Love God", features sitar and tambura. The third canto, "Jesus Christ Looks Like Me", features the use of cowbells. The title of the third canto is taken from the title of the supposed third Carnivore album that didn't happen.

There is an official music video for this song.

## Lyrics

**[Canto I. "Body of Christ (Corpus Christi)"]**

Forgive her

For she knows

Not what she does...

A cross upon her bedroom wall

From grace she will fall

An image burning in her mind

And between her thighs

A dying God-man full of pain

When will you cum again?

Before him beg to serve or please

On your back or knees

There's no forgiveness for her sins

Prefers punishment?

Would you suffer eternally

Or internally?

Ah

For her lust

She'll burn in hell

Her soul done medium well

All through mass manual stimulation

Salvation

Corpus Christi

She needs

Corpus Christi

Corpus Christi

Corpus Christi

She needs

Corpus Christi

Corpus Christi

Body of Christ

She needs

Body of Christ

Body of Christ

**[Canto II. "To Love God"]**

She'd like to know God

Love God

Feel her God

Inside of her - deep inside of her

She'd like to know God

Love God

Feel, feel, feel

Her God

Inside of her

Deep inside of her

Inside of her

Deep inside of her

**[Canto III. "Jesus Christ Looks Like Me"]**

Jesus Christ looks like me

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ looks like me

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ looks like me

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ looks like me

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ looks like me

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ looks like me

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ looks like me

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ looks like me

Jesus Christ
