|
Broken curfew at the pearly gates |
|
The road is silence at edge of shade |
|
Swore I tasted the breath of God |
|
In the empty charges of their firing squad. |
|
They said |
|
The law of love won't keep you safe |
|
Ooo-ooh |
|
The law of love won't keep you safe |
|
Oooh-uh-oh |
|
The city's sick and you can hear it moan |
|
The steel girders that birthed its bones |
|
Your love is precious on this old frontier |
|
We keep it loaded and we keep it near |
|
They said |
|
The law of love won't keep you safe |
|
Ooo-ooh |
|
The law of love won't keep you safe |
|
Oooh-uh-oh |
|
He was dark cloud to my mother's love |
|
Crossing borders with a man that's tough |
|
They said you're just some other young lover, you better up and run, they shouldn't let you leave |
|
And your courts still burn in the fallen sun |
|
Go on kid, run |
|
The law of love won't keep you safe |
|
Ooo-ooh |
|
The law of love won't keep you safe |
|
Out here |
