Broken curfew at the pearly gates
The road is silence at edge of shade
Swore I tasted the breath of God
In the empty charges of their firing squad
They said
The law of love won't keep you safe
Ooo-ooh
The law of love won't keep you safe
Oooh-uh-oh
The city's sick and you can hear it moan
The steel girders that birthed its bones
Your love is precious on this old frontier
We keep it loaded and we keep it near
They said
The law of love won't keep you safe
Ooo-ooh
The law of love won't keep you safe
Oooh-uh-oh
He was dark cloud to my mother's love
Crossing borders with a man that's tough
They said you're just some other young lover, you better up and run, they shouldn't let you leave
And your courts still burn in the fallen sun
Go on kid, run
The law of love won't keep you safe
Ooo-ooh
The law of love won't keep you safe
Out here
