Build God, Then We'll Talk

About this song

The song is the final track on Panic! At The Disco's debut album A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. Its bridge melody is derived from the chorus of "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music, and the bridge satirizes that song's lyrics by swapping its pleasant images for notions of adultery.

What it's about

The song covers the unsettling sides of cheating and the illusion of love found in prostitution. It follows a cheating lawyer and a virgin who sells herself to him, only to be caught and become pregnant, starting at a rundown motel.
