Well the ocean spreads out the front of my house If you come from north start heading down south I watch the fast cars go past While sipping gin from my gla** And bring a smoke to the lips of my mouth Cause i'm really fond of where i live In the suicidal part of the town I can always get a grip if my mind permits Otherwise i go and lay down Lay down, lay down Lay down, lay down Lay down, lay down Lay down, lay down What's that who's smashing bottles out the front of my house? It's morning and i'm trying to sleep Well a nine to five life is what my being's avoiding But i gotta work 'cause nothin's free or cheap Now i'm getting used to the football
And the control it's goten over the town 'cause i like to scream at sh** when my throat permits Otherwise i go and lay down Chorus Well lay down everything Take it off in front of me Lay down next to me For christ's sakes let me breathe Well god i dunno what'll make me happy Is it something good or evil and bad And if i look the other way will my thoughts decay? 'cause i don't wanna bury my head deep in the sand This tied knot you can never undo You can call but don't make a sound 'cause i can always drink and sh** when my funds permit Otherwise i'm just gonna go and lay down Chorus
