St Peter in Chains Songtext
von Martin Carr

My mother said "If you can 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 beyond those walls
Dreaming, dreaming
St Peter in chains
St Peter in chains
St Peter in chains
St Peter in chains
"Jesus loves you" Sister Mary said
As she beat out the rhythm on the back of my head
Love in the ruler or the hand of the cane
My face against the wall
Dreaming, dreaming
St Peter in chains
St Peter in chains St Peter in chains
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
Don′t want to be a sunbeam, sunbeam
I don't want to be a sunbeam, 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
St Peter in chains
St Peter in chains
St Peter in chains
St Peter in chains
St Peter in chains
St Peter in chains
St Peter in chains
