Lyrics

Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man Wipe the blood from you face and your hands Forgive yourself, if you think 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 talked Through the desert, pissed drunk, and confused I walked I spit a tooth in the palm of my hand (yeah) Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man Wipe the blood from you face and your hands Forgive yourself if you think you can Go to sleep, go to sleep my man Yeah the wind and the trees are ganging up on me They sing my funeral song in harmony Well, I just want to walk home unaccompanied But they keep singing (singing) They keep singing (singing) Singing, they keep singing (singing) Singing, they keep singing (singing) to me (la, la, la, la, la, la) Singing to me (la, la, la, la, la, la) I hear them singing (la, la, la, la, la, la, whooo) Well, I wish things were different, true, and deep But everything that's so shallow is everything about me You know they told me I could just take my money and leave I hope the people on the ground will understand I hope the people in the crowd will understand, yea aaah Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man Wipe the blood from you face and your hands Forgive yourself if you think 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 mannnn (yo) (t-the-4, whew) (woo)
