Peter  killed the dragon and he did  it with his bare hands,
Peter  killed the dragon and he did it with his bare hands,
Paul  killed the dragon and he did  it with his bare hands.
Eight  miles high, I saw you wearing  a royal blue shirt,
Eight  miles high, I saw you wearing a royal blue shirt,
Hiding  in a hole in the blue  from the world of hurt.
Well  Mississippi mighty, oh  and it's eight miles wide,
Mississippi  mighty, oh and it's eight miles wide,
Standing  on the edge, I saw your face  from the other side.
 no lyrics:
And  Even on the phone you're eight  hours from my time,
Even  on the phone you're eight hours from my time,
Wish  I could hold you in my arms like I hold  you in my mind.
'Cause  i'm standing on a rooftop wondering  if it's true,
I'm  looking over rooftops hoping that it ain't true,
God  could give or take away, well who would make  such an awful rule?
God  could give or take away, well who would make  such an awful rule?
Peter  killed the dragon and he did  it with his bare hands,
Peter  killed the dragon and he did it with his bare hands,
Paul  killed the dragon and he did  it with his bare hands.
