An empty street, a quiet smile Without steady feet You know the reckless kind Keep coming, coming back To the same old place With that wild eyed stare Up in your face [Chorus] Lay me down, let me down In a big old town Lay me down, let me down In a big old town He must have lost his soul When he found the rent He wrestles with control Still hasn't pinned it yet Once in, once in a while Loose that cigarette There's always some strange smile Underneath his breath [Chorus] Pa**ion's fist against a wall The crush of a kiss, the rise and fall Take me there, take me there To that wounded sound It's just love's despair Gone and hit the ground [Chorus] Lay me down,, let me down [Repeated]
