The streets are just blankets
And we sleep on their silky corpse
Covered up by them, why would we
Ever want to wake up?
Oh, no
Well, of course, of course, of course, of course
Of course we just do not know
What in hell are we here for?
We just do not know

Lord lay down, lord lay down, lord lay down your own damn soul
Lord lay down, lord lay down, lord lay down your own damn soul
Lord lay down, lord lay down, lord lay down your own damn soul
The end is like cotton that we wear wherever we go
Covered up by this, why would we
Ever want to try on your clothes?
Well of course, of course, of course, of course
Of course we just do not know

Well, lord lay down, lord lay down, lord lay down
(Let down your guard)
Lord lay down, lord lay down
Lord lay down your own damn soul
Lord lay down, lord lay down
Lord lay down your only son
Of course we know
