Took It Lying Down lyrics
by Ike Reilly
Well it's been so long
Since I been stiffed haulin' bags
To the penthouse with Ivana
But he don't recall all that
If I knew then
I would be haunted by his wealth
And that he'd kill all my time
I'd have killed him then myself
But surely I
Took it lying down
Well I said this and he said that
And you said. "You didn't say that, did you?"
And I said, "No, but I should have"
I love the way that you call me out
For all my failed plans
And the things I don't say out loud
But surely you know I
I'll take it lying down
I still believe you're delighted
By my touch
I'm halfway certain that's a look of lust
And not disgust
Wanna slide my hands underneath
Your nightgown where you stand
Back lit [?] sun
I see your form and then some
Pounding pitter-patter
Of mini human matter
As I kiss my way down
They tug upon your nightgown
But surely I
I'll take it lying down again
I'm a small man, big mouth
Small town, can't get out now
Time is not our friend
Time has f*cked us time and time again
Stars are multiplyin'
Thank God gods are dyin'
Drop to my knees, I call her
Without her, she says, I'm smaller
But I
Well I
I take it lying down again
