lyrics

Preacher roamed throughout the land
carried the good book in his hand.
The good book said, “Just be nice.”
“Feed the poor or pay the price.”
Lay low, lay low.
I’m going to melt you down before you go.
Lay low, baby lay low
I’m going to save your mind,
Save your soul.

I gotta a gal as weird as me.
She hears voices in her dreams.
The dreams tell her to walk the streets
With all of the creeps.
Lay low, lay low.
Better leave the lights on before you go.
Lay low, lay low.
I’m dreaming of you in southern Ohio.

Drink your Sprite and burn you sage
Read your Faulkner and wear your beige
I’ll take Waits and Nicolas Cage
And booze them back to the Copper Age.
I’m gonna lay low, lay low.
Better finish off your glass before you go.
Lay low, baby, lay low.
I’m going to rosin up your pillow.

Take your lover and get them drunk
Till they’re happy as a gutter punk.
Take the gutter punk to bed,
And leave your lover home instead…
Lay low, lay low
I’m gonna to bake you down before you go.
Lay low, lay low.
I’m gonna sneak a kiss like a desparado

Me and Sin got a special deal
I take the gun
He takes the wheel…
Go to give my lover a kiss,
Come to find out there’s a waiting list.
Lay low, lay low
I’m gonna break your heart before you know it.
Lay low, lay low
I’m taking little cuts with my eyes closed.
Lay low, lay low….

Jerk off the poor and screw the rich
The President has to pay for a glimpse
Gather around and make a little love
The man’s going to blow us back to Pangaea.
Honey Lay low, baby lay low
I’ll make you a coffin of solid gold
Lay low, lay low
Your daughter hand for a gallon of oil.
Lay low, lay low….
