Cyndi Lauper Lay Me Down song lyrics

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

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 lose that cigarette

There's always some strange smile underneath his breath

Lay me down, let me down

(Lay me down)

In a big old town

(Lay me down)

Lay me down, let me down

(Lay me down)

In a big old town

Passion'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

Lay me down, let me down

(Lay me down)

In a big old town

(Lay me down)

Lay me down, let me down

(Lay me down)

In a big old town

Lay me down, let me down

(Lay me down)

(Lay me down)

(Lay me down)

Lay me down, let me down

(Lay me down)

Lay me down, let me down

(Lay me down)

Lay me down, let me down

(Lay me down)

Lay me down, let me down

(Lay me down)

Lay me down, let me down

(Lay me down)
