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]
