Duties - Peter and the Wolf

Oh, Caroline, sucking his soul like a parasite

Clipping the wings from a butterfly

What could she do?

Ohhh, Caroline, forking his tongue for the love is blind

Coiling his springs like a serpentine

What could she see?

Dragged to the bar, you wouldn’t believe

Shooting blanks and couldn’t conceive

Mother she chose a fantasy to some

Woahhh yes won’t you lay your duties upon me?

Lay your burden down

Why don’t you put your kisses upon me?

Lay your duties on me

Oh, Caroline, stripping him bare of all confidence

Blaming a bruise on an accident

Blackened and blue

Ohhhh, Caroline, cracking a smile with jagged teeth

Playing the field for eternity with his family to lose

Running away, you made the change

Living your life, the wife you made

Making a break with everything you say

Woahhh, won’t you lay you duties on me?

Lay your burden down

Why don’t you put your curses upon me?

Lay your burden down

Why’d you lay your duties on me?

Lay your burden down

Why don’t you put your curses on thee?

Lay your duties on me

Lay your duties on me

Lay your duties on me

Ooooo

Lay your duties on me

Lay your duties upon me

Lay your duties on me

Lay your duties on me

Lay your duties upon me

Lay your duties on me

Oooooo

Lay your duties on me
