Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man Wipe the blood from you face and your hands Forgive yourself, if you think that you can Go to sleep, go to sleep my man Twenty-one days lost at sea I foughtFor twenty-two years non-stop I've talked Through the desert, pissed drunk, and confused I walkedI spit a tooth in the palm of my hand Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man Wipe the blood from you face and your hands Forgive yourself if you think that you can Go to sleep, go to sleep my man Well the wind and the trees are ganging up on me They sing my funeral song in harmony Well I just want to walk home on the cup I needBut they keep singing and singing and singing to me... La, La, La, La, La, La (Singing to me) La, La, La, La, La, La (I hear 'em singin) La, La, La, La, La, La (Oh!) Well I wish things were different, true indeed But everything is so shallow, is everything about me? 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 Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man Wipe the blood from you face and your hands Forgive yourself if you think that you can Go to sleep, go to sleep my man La, LaGo to sleep, go to sleep my man La, LaGo to sleep, go to sleep my man
