The Price You Pay For Sin

from The Price Of Sin by Markus Rill

/

lyrics

Lying naked on white linen I watch the smoke rings on their way up to the ceiling
There’s a storm outside a-brewin’ as I contemplate the price you pay for sin
As I wait for Angelina to step out of the shower again
I keep thinkin’ ‘bout her husband Frank who happens to be my oldest friend

Frankie is a decent man, I do the best I can

But the price you pay for sin
Is you leave the behind the kid that you were way back when
And with the shadows rollin’ in I get weak again
And I cough up the price you pay for sin

The way that Angelina touches me, I never have been touched before
And Gina says that Frankie, well, he don’t touch her much no more
How I wish that I could hold her and would never have to let her go again
But Angelina’s husband, he just happens to be my oldest friend

Frankie is a decent man, me, I do the best I can

But the price you pay for sin
Is you leave the behind the kid that you were way back when
And with the shadows rollin’ in I get weak again
And I cough up the price you pay for sin

Way back when we were kids we swore blood brothers till the end
We were young and we were free, I swear we didn’t know the price you pay for sin
And I never will forget the way we used to be
I just hope Frank never finds out about his wife and me

The other night I came home early with the smell of Angelina on my hands
Sneakin’ out the back door was a guy looked a whole lot like a decent man

And the price you pay for sin
Is you leave the behind the kids that you were way back when
And with the shadows rollin’ in I get weak again
And I produce the price you pay for sin
