The Church and the Dime Lyrics

Lyric discussion by MikeMara 

Cover art for The Church and the Dime lyrics by Dear Hunter, The

i think this song is about when the boy friends out about the church and the dime.. the church and the whore house are connected and the preist is the pimp and also the priest.. "She prays to the man with the twin in the mask"

i think it's about the boy finding out because he says "sobering reality" as in he was ignorant of church and the dime and learning about the truth is like coming down from a high.

it's.. "Love decays while call girls perform"

my favorite song by the dear hunter right hereee

Just getting into the story. Bought all three albums on Monday. So did the Dear Hunter not know his mom was a prostitute until now? Or did he not know that she worked at the church?
