Crossfire Lyrics

There's a still in the street outside your window
And you're keepin' secrets on your pillow
Let me inside, no cause for alarm
I promise tonight not to do no harm
I promise you, babe, I won't be no harm

And we're caught up in the crossfire
Of heaven and hell
And we're searching for shelter
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

Watching your dress as you turn down the light (aah, aah)
I forget all about the storm outside (aah, aah)
Dark clouds roll their way over town (aah, aah)
Heartache and pain came a-pouring down like
Like hail, sleet and rain, yeah
They're handing it out

And we're caught up in the crossfire
Of heaven and hell
And were searching for shelter
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

Tell the devil that he can go back from where he came
His fiery arrows drew their beat in vein
And when the hardest part is over we'll be here
And our dreams will break the boundaries of our fears
Boundaries of our fears

(Aah aahah aah aahah)
(Aah aahah aahah aaah)
(Aah aahah aah)

Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

The repeated plea to "lay your body down" emphasizes this yearning for physical and emotional closeness as a means to weather life's storms. The mention of overcoming fears and telling the devil to go back suggests an underlying theme of resilience and defiance against external adversities.
