The Destitute - Von Hertzen Brothers

Can’t look back I’ll just ease away

Got to leave the throne before it’s too late

Time to step down and leave the ground

The noose around my head is overwound

Oh yeah

So I lay me down

On your streets again

To find some peace of mind

And I pray these streets my soul to take

If I die before I wake

I feel the sword above my head

Hanging from a single thread of fate

Thread of fate

I want to make my own bed

But not to cry in it

I want to die in it and feel I’m safe

So lay me down on your streets again

To find some peace of mind

And I pray these streets my soul to take

If I die before I wake

Right before I go I need to let you know

Honestly you know

I’m a destitute thrown to the limelight

I was born without a home

In a palace full of strangers and catfights

Oh and from early, early on

I’ve been looking for love and a lifeline

Someone to throw me a line

So I lay me down

On your streets again

To find some peace of mind

And I pray these streets my poor soul to take

If I die before I wake

I lay me down on your streets again

Tonight my love arrives
