  • La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie

    My baby, my baby
    Let me know
    Because you love me, you love me
    Let me go
    And you're my lover, you pay me
    Twice my size
    And on your knees you lay
    In my thighs

    Take my hand and let's end it all
    She broke her little bones
    On the boulders below
    Take my hand and let's end it all

    My baby, my baby
    Let me go
    And if you love me, you love me
    Let me go
    'Cause I'm your brother, your brother
    Have some pride
    And now you love me, you love me
    Then die tonight

    Take my hand and let's end it all

    She broke her little bones
    On the boulders below
    Take my hand and let's end it all
    Broke her little bones
    On the boulders below
    And while she fell I delightfully said

    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie

    She took my hand and I let her go (ah)
    She broke her little bones
    On the boulders below
    Took my hand and she ended it all
    Broke her little bones
    On the boulders below
    And while she fell, I smiled (ah)

    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, lie, lie, lie

  • Crose from United StatesTo me, it reads as if a much older sister sexually abused her younger brother, probably for years. "You pay twice my size" seems to indicate she's twice his age and therefore must pay twice the retribution for the crime committed.
    He is persistant in begging her to let him go if she loves him. He seems confused on the nature of their relationship, but recognizes that is a very abnormal and abusive relationship, hence the "have some pride". He eventually cons her into jumping off a cliff by faking a suicide pact with her.
    In the end, he's finally free of her abuse, and is relieved it's over.
    I could be way off base, but that's how it reads.
  • Ukasyah from IndonesiaIn my opinion, the brother represented the United States and the sister represented all the places the US helped. So the US used to be a helper in every problem in every place. The US did that because they wanted something rare in every country that the US helped. for example: oil, gold, etc.

  • Ed from San Fransisco, Ca@Edwin: What a lot of people have been saying, is the sister represents the US, and the brother represents all the places the US is "helping"
  • Edwin from Guayama, Puerto Ricoi still don't understand the part where he says " cause im your brother your brother have some pride" i mean i hope he isnt talking about incest
