Lay me down easy I know I’ve done wrong I was out in the desert and planting head stones You bought it, I stammered my way around love I kindled the fires that burnt the embers above Lay me down ready with a sympathy wind If I don’t start to feel better I may do it all again And it’s the only way of making you talk For it’s the only way of making you talk Don’t mention the scandal it pulls me in two The lies I kept with me and the truth that you threw I’m heady with darkness, don’t perch on my throne I never asked for your distance or for you to leave me alone Lay me down ready with a sympathy wind If I don’t start to feel better I may do it all again And it’s the only way of making you talk For it’s the only way of making you talk You brought me through and left me alone I’m not what you need anymore Lay me down ready with a sympathy wind If I don’t start to feel better I may do it all again And it’s the only way of making you talk For it’s the only way of making you talk
