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
