St Peter in Chains Songtext
von Martin Carr

My mother said "if you can′t behave
We're going to send you away to be saved
Concentrate the mind and purify the soul
Wake you up from your dreaming"

Bees making honey from the Jesus flower
But I took my orders from a higher power
Spent all my days in a different world
That lay outside those walls

Dreaming
Dreaming

St Peter In Chains


"Jesus loves you" Sister Mary said
As she beat out the rhythm on the back of my head
Love with the ruler or the hand or the cane
My face against the wall

Dreaming
Dreaming

St Peter In Chains

Peter, take these chains from me, man, they′re much too tight
I like what I do and I want to do what I like
No love no fun
No love no fun
No love

I don't want to be your sunbeam

Where do I end, where do I begin?
Forged in the fires of original sin
Damned if I do and damned if I don't
The cross upon the wall

St Peter In Chains
