Lay Me Down Gently - Locomotive

Lay me down gently

My mind is disordered

Something my prey can sight

The bread has gone dryer and the whisky is watered

Still I can say that I’ve tried

To eat my fill, of everything I’m expected to digest

To smile at will, but I still steal the cakes

Of someone else’s Queen of Hearts

And that’s the way it’s been right from the very start

Sing me a sad song and I’ll she’d a sad tear

Pressing my front and I’ll cry

I am the outcome of mass production

I’m Batman, your bachelor’s toy

I’ll let you play

And do the things that make me want you more

Until you’re straight

And drop me in the cupboard like so many toys before

Then I will be the victim and you will be the whore

Lay me down gently
