Lay me down in sheets of linen where she lies
I know she's grinning in there
Crossed your heart and hoped to die
And still you broke that spirit that I bear

[Chorus:]
Lay me down for a while
Maybe you can tell me why
All my dreams are so defiled
And prove to me
You're something like human!

Lay me down in sheets of linen where she hides
I know I'm going nowhere
Everything I hoped to be and feel

Is in those lies you're telling somewhere

[Chorus]
