The Gates Of Paradise Lyrics - David Byrne

I am nothing like my sister 

I am nothing like my mom 

You can't see me in my father 

Wonder where did I come from? 

And the laws of men are not the laws of heaven 

And angel's breath is like the desert wind 

And terrorists are acting out of love, sweet love 

To bring us home again 

It's a sin to seek perfection 

It's a sin to help the poor 

It's a sin to hold convictions 

For none of them are true 

And the laws of men are not the laws of heaven 

And angel's breath is like the desert wind 

And terrorists are acting out of love, sweet love 

To bring us home again

The gates of paradise
