Lay down, darling, lay down,
These men are coming around,
Gold gold silver and gold,
So love me do as you’re told,
Well I sold my pictures and my goods,
I’ve kept you as long as I could,
And now as fortune does dictate,
My darling I send you on your way
Long live the queen on papered things,
Each to their own and us to them,
Give me the goose I have not seen,
And rest in faith that men are men
I’ve got this feeling it’s all wrong man,
I’ve got this feeling in my bones,
And if you listen to the ground man,
I think you’d hear we’re not alone
I woke up last night,
Woke in a sweat,
Saw the other laughing at me,
Thought he’s about to break his neck,
And I have small time for small things,
No clue for things that you’ve seen,
And all I feel is my body convulsing,
And the water’s gone bad but you know I keep drinking
Darling I’ve been dreaming of the ocean,
And on the rocks out there I see you hold them,
Money in my pocket,
A tune in my boots,
Well I go out late at night to see everyone looks like you
