Going to a party downtown and I knew the crowd
And everyone was strange, looking sideways at my funny sound
So I toasted to the weekend and I drank a little more than I should
So I said a few things, I got sick like I knew I would
Oh brother
Lay a hand on me
I haven't been in a fight in years
I've been living in the city like a night that I spend in bed
Minding my own minute feeling sorry for that stupid kid
I put out a hand and you took it and ran along
I forgot your name so I stuttered and I hummed a song
Oh sister
Say a prayer for me
Right now I could believe in anything
Oh brother
Lay a hand on me
Oh sister
Lay a hand on me
