Ike Reilly
Took It Lying Down
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 fucked 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
