There's a still in the street outside your window You're keepin' secrets on your pillow Let me inside, no cause for alarm I promise tonight not to do no harm I promise you baby,I won't be no harm And we're caught up in the crossfire A heaven and hell And were searching for shelter Lay your body down Watching your dress as you turn down the light I forget all about the storm outside Dark clouds roll their way over town Heartache and pain came pouring down like Chaos in the rain, yeah They're handing it out And we're caught up in the crossfire Heaven and hell And were searching for shelter Lay your body down Tell the devil that he can go back from where he came His fire he airs all through their beating vein. And when the hardest part is over we'll be here And our dreams will break the boundaries of our fears Boundaries of our fears Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Next to mine
