Lay Me Down

[Chorus]

Lay me down under foreign stars

Stoking the coals in the fire

I’ve run so far, they’re still

So hot on my heels

And I’ll be the last man alive

[Verse 1]

Let me sleep for a hundred years

All these memories and patterns they twist and they turn in the dark

I came here to talk won’t you

Remember me lovely

But nothing is the same anymore

[Verse 2]

Rip van winkle abandon your family

Slip away from your sons and your daughters

Rest your white weary head 'neath these willow trees

Let your beard grow as long as your father’s

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Nine to five at the p&c

A life in the factory or the mines

My hands they shake

Can’t get it up like I used to

And I’ll be the last to survive

[Verse 3]

All that you said don’t mean shit to me

All that you said is a lie

My hands they shake

Can’t get it up like I used to

And I’ll be the last of my kind

[Instrumental Outro]
