[Intro]
Ben's song, another try
Not that you deserve it right now, Ben
No faculties to care and all
But I deserve it, I deserve it, I know
(We can quibble over the history once we make it)
Right?
[Chorus]
Lie down, my sad executive love
Lie down right now
My man bored out of his head right now
Fans turn on a May night
Darkness assumes the room
Lie back, he does in the late night
Hands folded back, certain of doom
[Verse]
Hold me, he sang "Hallelujah"
The midnight's become my noon
You don't know what you do, do ya?
I am on fire for you
I'm on fire, I'm on fire
[Chorus]
Lie down, my sad executive love
Lie down right now
My man bored out of his head right now
Fans turn on a May night
Darkness assumes the room
Hold me, hmm
[Verse]
Hold me, he say "Hallelujah"
The midnight's became my noon
You don't know what you do, do ya?
I am on fire for you
I'm on fire, I'm on fire
[Bridge]
Lie down, my sad executive love
Lie down
I can smoke if I want to
I can dance if I want to
Yeah, it's true that I want you
But don't say you don't want no harm
If you can't understand
'Cause I won't be here long enough for you to be my man
[Outro]
It's not a very nice ending
But that's what you get, just kidding
God Bless America, land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
I don't know anything, hmm
There you are
