Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man
|
Wipe the blood from you face and your hands
|
Forgive yourself if you think that you can
|
Go to sleep, go to sleep my man
|
|
Twenty-one days lost at sea I fought
|
For twenty-two years non-stop I've talked
|
Through the desert, pissed drunk, and confused I walked
|
I spit a tooth in the palm of my hand
|
|
Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man
|
Wipe the blood from you face and your hands
|
Forgive yourself if you think that you can
|
Go to sleep, go to sleep my man
|
|
Well the wind and the trees are ganging up on me
|
They sing my funeral song in harmony
|
Well I just want to walk home on the drunk I need
|
But they keep singing and singing and singing to me...
|
La, La, La, La, La, La (I hear them singing)
|
La, La, La, La, La, La (Singing for me)
|
La, La, La, La, La, La (Oh!)
|
|
Well I wish things were different, true, and deep
|
But everything that's so shallow is everything about me
|
If only I could just take all my money and leave
|
I hope the people on the ground will understand
|
I hope the people out there will understand
|
|
Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man
|
Wipe the blood from you face and your hands
|
Forgive yourself if you think that you can
|
Go to sleep, go to sleep my man
|
La, La
|
Go to sleep, go to sleep my man
|
La, La
|
Go to sleep, go to sleep my man
|
