Ina Wroldsen - St. Peter lyrics

[Verse 1] In the middle of hell lies a little St. Peter In a hospital bed burning up With a cloth to his head, he is ridden by fever And I can't even tell whether the demons have won And his mother is there with his brother tied to her back Praying as hard as she can to a god in a land that I think he forgot In the middle of hell where a d**h by mosquito Is as everyday as my coffee or your cigarette [Chorus] And she says "God bless me" She says "God bless me" And I shake my head Cause I can't see God in this hospital bed But she says "God bless me" She says "God bless me" And I look away But as she lets go of my hand for the first time in this place I pray Amen Amen [Verse 2] I got plenty to give her but there's nothing to offer And the little I brought comes far too late So I urge him to leave with a bottle of water He is 7 years old, sleeping outside pearly gates And his mother looks at me with eyes I will never let go They are angry and sad beyond measure and mad with a childbearing love that I know In the middle of hell we just sit with each other On a hospital bed begging for d**h to go home [Chorus] And she says "God bless me" She says "God bless me" And I shake my head Cause I can't see God in this hospital bed But she says "God bless me" She says "God bless me" And I look away But as she lets go of my hand for the first time in this place I pray Amen Amen [Outro] In the middle of hell lies a little St. Peter In a hospital bed burning up
