Bruce Springsteen - Wages of Sin lyrics
[Bruce Springsteen - Wages of Sin lyrics]
When we fight and I wanna talk it out
You won't say nothing, nothing at all
You just sit there
You won't open that pretty mouth
I think you like keeping my
Back up against the wall
Wages of sin, you keep me paying
Wages of sin for wrongs that I've done
Wages of sin, you keep me paying
Wages of sin, one by one
I walk in the apartment
There's clothes thrown all over the place
You're crouched in the corner with
Makeup runnin' down your face
I don't wanna believe what my
What my heart keeps saying
You keep me on the line
So you can keep me paying
Wages of sin, we keep paying
Wages of sin for the wrongs that we've done
Wages of sin, yea, we keep paying
Wages of sin, that's how we have our fun
I remember when I was a little boy
Out where the cottonwoods grow tall
Trying to make it home through the
Forest before the darkness falls
Baby, all the sounds I heard
Even if they weren't real
I was running down that broken path with
The devil snapping at my heels
I tried so hard, so hard in every way
Swore someday I'd grow up and
Just throw it all away
Cried all the tears, baby, that I could cry
Stomached all my fears till they
Came rushin' up inside
Darlin', I'm losin' and it's a mean game
Still I play on and on just the same
Wages of sin, yea, I keep paying
Wages of sin for some wrong that I've done
Wages of sin, well, I keep paying
Wages of sin, one by one
You won't say nothing, nothing at all
You just sit there
You won't open that pretty mouth
I think you like keeping my
Back up against the wall
Wages of sin, you keep me paying
Wages of sin for wrongs that I've done
Wages of sin, you keep me paying
Wages of sin, one by one
I walk in the apartment
There's clothes thrown all over the place
You're crouched in the corner with
Makeup runnin' down your face
I don't wanna believe what my
What my heart keeps saying
You keep me on the line
So you can keep me paying
Wages of sin, we keep paying
Wages of sin for the wrongs that we've done
Wages of sin, yea, we keep paying
Wages of sin, that's how we have our fun
I remember when I was a little boy
Out where the cottonwoods grow tall
Trying to make it home through the
Forest before the darkness falls
Baby, all the sounds I heard
Even if they weren't real
I was running down that broken path with
The devil snapping at my heels
I tried so hard, so hard in every way
Swore someday I'd grow up and
Just throw it all away
Cried all the tears, baby, that I could cry
Stomached all my fears till they
Came rushin' up inside
Darlin', I'm losin' and it's a mean game
Still I play on and on just the same
Wages of sin, yea, I keep paying
Wages of sin for some wrong that I've done
Wages of sin, well, I keep paying
Wages of sin, one by one
