If you're living by the words of the doom-sayers
Or letting it all ride with the hoarse-players
Drifting in this landslide flowing

Happy in the boat you're rowing round
Row it round
If you're staring the face of the tidal wave

Running from the jab of the switchblade
Tumbling in this seething welter
Wish that you could live forever now

Lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay your head down
Lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay your head down
Lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay your head down

Lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay your head down
Falling through the cracks in the loop holes
Wash the dirty hands in the washbowl

Redefine the definition
Stand it by your constitution
Looking for some retribution

Turn it back one revolution now
Lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay your head down
Lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay your head down

Lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay your head down
Lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay your head down
Head the warning now, skies are gray

Seek shelter from the rain
Cross the water now to escape
Seek shelter

Stake it here your claim to fame
Knowing you can't break that chain
Re define the definition

Stronger than your constitution
Looking for some retribution
Turn it back one revolution now

Lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay your head down
Lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay your head down
Lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay your head down

Lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay your head down
Lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay your head down
Lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay your head down

Lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay your head down
Lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay your head down
