Ballad of a dying rover

Girl, let me lay down with you
One more time
Ain't no surprise what I wanna do
Just a man, just a sick, sick man

Girl, I wouldn't lie to you
Not one more time
Ain't no surprise, though, if I do
I'm just a man, just a sick, sick man

I'll sit up on the graveyard wall
These grounds will be my bed
I look down upon it all
And wonder when, wonder when
Wonder when it's gonna end
My days are numbered
Eternal slumber
Death is my due

Girl, walk this long last mile with me
One more time
Who knows what there's left for us to see?
I'm just a man, just a sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick man
Death is my due

I wouldn't lie to you
Not one more time
Ain't no surprise, though, if I do
I'm just a man, just a sick, sick man
My days are numbered
Eternal slumber
Death is my due
I'm just a man, just a sick, sick man
Just a sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick man

Baby, let me lay down with you
One more time
Ain't no surprise what I'm gonna do
My days are numbered
My days are numbered
Eternal slumber
Death is my due

I wanna lay down with you
One more time
Ain't no surprise that I do
I'm just a man, just a sick, sick man
Yeah, baby

I wanna stay down here with you
War all time
It ain't up to me what I'm gonna do
I'm just a man, just a sick, sick man
Just a sick, just a sick, sick man
Whose days are numbered
Eternal slumber
And death is my due

I wanna lay down with you
I wanna lay down with you
Girl, let me lay down with you
One more time
One more time
One more time
One more time
Death is my due
Death is my due
Death is my due, yeah

Eternal slumber
Days are numbered
Death is my due, yeah-yeah
I wanna lay down with you
Just one more time
Just one more time
One more time, baby
Yeah
