David Ford - St Peter lyrics

rate me

Everyone come together making no kind of sense and these thoughts that i cling to they’re going to harm my defence i’ll throw rocks at the devil with my faith wearing thin but i won’t scream down st peter when he don’t let me in i will work like a pack horse every hour of the day i will drink like a preacher oh make these spirits go away i will sing like an angel with an ear for a sin but i won’t scream down st peter when he don’t let me in so when i’m gone will you miss me? yes i’m sure that you will when i’m far from the terror and the lies and the kill but there is nothing so deadly as the forces of right or some fool with a shotgun in a house painted white so ain’t it hard now my brother to try and do what you should when the shameless and the wicked they dress the same as the good my intentions are honest though my chances are slim so i won’t scream down st peter when he don’t let me in so everyone come together making no kind of sense and these words that i cling to can only harm my defence i’ve embraced imperfection it’s alright not to win but i won’t scream down st peter when he don’t let me in i won’t scream down st peter when he don’t let me in
