lyrics

Lay Down The Love Of Your Sister

I hear him walkin down the hall
and he thinks no one at all
can hear the sound of his feet
on the floor, on the floor
He's got a secret that'll never be told
he fell in love at only ten years old
He wants to see, he wants to come in
touch that flesh would be a sin

see the way you look at her, fire in your eyes
Lay down the love of your sister
Lay your love in the ground
Lay down the love of your sister
Lay your love in the ground

God declared by his name
all the animals they must be tamed
bird to the sky and fish to the sea
that kind of love will never be
take your lust and bury it deep
underneatht he willow tree
let the wind carry you away
away

see the way you look at her, fire in your eyes
Lay down the love of your sister
Lay your love in the ground
Lay down the love of your sister
Lay your love in the ground

Don't you mix that blood
Brother won't you listen
What I know to well
Ain't no differece between
Heaven and Hell

Needless to say Paperboy is not a group that you sit still to enjoy! ... more
