Lay Me Down Lyrics
The sun was a flaming death star
On the day you were conceived
The sky shattered like a sheet of glass
And the waves were like mountains
And the mountains swallowed themselves
Fish crawled out from the boiling oceans
Birds fell from the sky - bloated with their song
Trees fell themselves
And all the moon bugs in the long grass were buzzing
And all of this you shall inherit
As far as you can see
All of this is yours
I am hanging by the wire
I can't get much higher
I think we are misunderstood
God's intentions are good
I am wading through the mire
And the world's on fire
This time it ended for good
Like they said it would
Lay me down
I've got no end
Lay me down
My only friend
This leads nowhere
Still I pretend
-
Lay me down
Just like God meant
I had a dream about us where
We were two halves of a worm
Then I woke and you were there
Telling me nothing was wrong
Well ain't that just like us
To destroy the things we love
Then you come back to me
You walk in and the clouds burst
Oh no, oh no
Don't fall away
Oh no, oh no
Don't fall away
Oh no, oh no
Don't fall away
Don't fall away.
On the day you were conceived
The sky shattered like a sheet of glass
And the waves were like mountains
And the mountains swallowed themselves
Fish crawled out from the boiling oceans
Birds fell from the sky - bloated with their song
Trees fell themselves
And all the moon bugs in the long grass were buzzing
And all of this you shall inherit
As far as you can see
All of this is yours
I can't get much higher
I think we are misunderstood
God's intentions are good
I am wading through the mire
And the world's on fire
This time it ended for good
Like they said it would
I've got no end
Lay me down
My only friend
This leads nowhere
Still I pretend
-
Lay me down
Just like God meant
We were two halves of a worm
Then I woke and you were there
Telling me nothing was wrong
Well ain't that just like us
To destroy the things we love
Then you come back to me
You walk in and the clouds burst
Don't fall away
Oh no, oh no
Don't fall away
Oh no, oh no
Don't fall away
Don't fall away.
