Commerce City Sister by Devotchka
Commerce City Sister lyrics
Can I sleep in your arms tonight, sister?
Can I lay down with you here tonight?
I would shield you from the morning sun.
We'll stroll arm in arm in the Kingdom Come.
Can I sleep in your arms tonight?
You know I ain't never
Going back to Commerce City.
All of of those times
They've taken my last twenty-dollar bill...
There ain't no love lost,
There ain't no more time to kill.
And all me brothers,
They're up on Jersey landfill.
I ain't never going back to that town.
Can I sleep in your arms tonight, sister?
Can I lay down with you here tonight?
Feel your voice can remind me of better days.
Your sister voice, it can carry me away,
Let me sleep in your arms tonight.
Darling, what was it true
That we learned?
As the whiskey finally eats your heart.
And where was that place
I was born tonight?
It's the one that leads
Straight to your heart.
What was it true that we learned?
Can I sleep in your arms tonight, sister?
Can I lay down with you here tonight?
Let me sleep in your arms tonight.
Can I sleep in your arms tonight, sister?
