There must be something wrong, if all the people on the streets are all confessing your conceit, but you wont. Your tongue was forked and long, and it got you feelin strong, but all the apologies i made i shouldve taken to the grave and been done. So take the bottles off the shelf and try to drink it untill it helps (but it wont) Wont you please lay me down in the old familiar ground? Wont you please just lay me down? Just lay me! And certain men may love, and certain men may love the fight and theyll brake their bodies. But life is what you make. So write these words above my grave, they took me for granted. Wont you please lay me down in the old familiar ground? Wont you please just lay me down? Just lay me! Wont you please lay me down in the old familiar ground? Wont you please just lay me down? Just lay me! Wont you please lay me down in the old familiar ground? Wont you please just lay me down? Just lay me down just lay me Because life is what you make it. Because love is what you've made it, and made it my friend and made it.
