{Verse 1} Your face looks so sweet, even in the wars You took the wrap for me, but I fell on my own sword And now the sordid details, are all over Page 4 Honey, we made the news and that's all we did this for We drove for centuries without a sound or fuss State penitentiaries weren't made for souls like us There will be blood, but you will be loved The world will know, but it's only us
{Chorus} When I lay me down I pray we, keep each day Please stay with me
{Verse 2} We painted the town red, now everyone in the town's dead You and I win again, best friends till our last breath Live by the gun, die by the gun Live by the sea, live while we're young Take from the rich, give to the poor Run to the hills, run from the law Ride shotgun with our crossbow Head out North where the Sun grows Start fresh where they don't know The things we did The stick-up kids We laughed, we cried We lived, we died We came, we saw We conquered them all
{Chorus} When I lay me down I pray we, keep each day Please stay with me
{Verse 3} Don't listen to what they say Don't take the medication They never loved us anyway Never liked our generation They will try and keep you But you're still mine And I love you, and you're strong dear And we're fine So, remember when the time comes When it's over and it's all done Meet me in the North, by the edge of the Sun
{Chorus} When I lay me down I pray we, keep each day Please stay with me
