  • There's a still in the street outside your window
    And 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, babe, I won't be no harm

    And we're caught up in the crossfire
    Of heaven and hell
    And we're searching for shelter
    Lay your body down
    Lay your body down
    Lay your body down

    Watching your dress as you turn down the light (aah, aah)
    I forget all about the storm outside (aah, aah)
    Dark clouds roll their way over town (aah, aah)
    Heartache and pain came a-pouring down like
    Like hail, sleet and rain, yeah
    They're handing it out

    And we're caught up in the crossfire
    Of heaven and hell
    And were searching for shelter
    Lay your body down
    Lay your body down
    Lay your body down
    Lay your body down
    Lay your body down
    Lay your body down

    Tell the devil that he can go back from where he came
    His fiery arrows drew their bead in vain
    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

    (Aah aahah aah aahah)
    (Aah aahah aahah aaah)
    (Aah aahah aah)

    Lay your body down
    Lay your body down
    Lay your body down
    Lay your body down
    Lay your body down
    Lay your body down
