Song title: Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Lay Me Low

Edit By: 216.73.216.66

Theyre gonna lay me low (lay me low)
Theyre gonna sink me in the snow
Theyre gonna throw back their heads and crow
When I go

Theyre gonna jump and shout (lay me low)
Theyre gonna wave their arms about
All the stories will come out
When I go

All the stars will glow bright (lay me low)
And my friends will give up the fight
Theyll see my work in a different light
When I go

Theyll try telephoning my mother (lay me low)
But theyll end up getting my brother
Wholl spill the story on some long-gone lover
That I hardly know

Hats off to the man
On top of the world
Come crawl up here, baby
And Ill show you how it works
If you wanna be my friend
And you wanna repent
And you want it all to end
And you wanna know when
Well do it now dont care how
Take your final bow
Make a stand take my hand
And blow it all to hell

They gonna inform the police chief (lay me low)
Wholl breathe a sigh of relief
Hell say I was a malanderer, a badlander, and a thief
When I go

They will interview my teachers (lay me low)
Wholl say I was one of gods sorrier creatures
Therell print informative six-page features
When I go

Theyll bang a big old gong (lay me low)
The motorcade will be ten miles long
The world will join together for a farewell song
When they put me down below

Theyll sound a fluegelhorn (lay me low)
And the sea will rage, and the sky will storm
All man and beast will mourn
When I go

Hats off to the man
On top of the world
Come crawl up here, baby
And we can watch this damn thing turn
If you wanna be my friend
And you wanna repent
And you want it all to end
And you wanna know when
Well do it now do it now
Take a long last bow
Take my hand make a stand
And blow it all to hell

Lay me low...
When I go...
