Lyrics Duties - Peter and the Wolf

Duties

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
