A couple of years ago, a title generator threw out the surreal 'Welcome at the Shady Saviour'. Immediately a noisy little pub/bar I often pass sprang to mind. The door is usually open, revealing the dark interior, the men, the women, the rituals.

Welcome at the 'Shady Saviour'
V1
Holy is the straining laughter
Holy are the searching eyes
Holy is the prize they're after
Holy are the hopeful lies
Chorus
Everyone's welcome at the 'Shady Saviour'
A bar on the far edge of town
A shifting shape of a room
An underworld of the lovely
Where lonely, restless flowers
Come to [the Saviour to] bloom
V2
Blesséd are the hands that touch you
Blesséd is the wine you sip
Blesséd are the words you utter
Blesséd are the stranger's lips
Chorus
Everyone's welcome at the 'Shady Saviour'
A bar on the far edge of town
A shifting shape of a room
An underworld of the lovely
Where lonely, restless flowers
Come to [the Saviour to] bloom
Bridge
The longings are simple
They burn with clarity
A little faith, a little hope
A little charity
Chorus
Everyone's welcome at the 'Shady Saviour'
A bar on the far edge of town
A shifting shape of a room
An underworld of the lovely
Where lonely, restless flowers
Come to [the Saviour to] bloom
