[Verse 1]
Here on a slab I awake and I'm freezing
There's a light up ahead
I rise and float through the air
Through a tunnel, now the light's up ahead

[Verse 2]
Here in a bull ring I stand
Am I dreaming?
There is a bull up ahead and I laugh
Ha-ha-ha!
I get it! I'm dead!
And this whole charade's a fight for my soul
Red-eyed fiend lunges, I turn
While skeletal picadores stab away at the beast!

[Chorus]
I lay, I lay
I lay, I lay
I lay my eyes on the devil
Oh fate once again I lay
I lay
I lay
I lay

[Verse 3]
There in the stands something grabs my attention
Like it is calling to me
It's a girl with eyes like the sea
Is she an angel sent to watch over me?
[Chorus]
I lay, I lay
I lay, I lay
I lay my eyes on the devil
Oh fate once again I lay
I lay
I lay
I lay

[Bridge]
Hey!

[Verse 4]
Suddenly I remember the girl with eyes like the sea
She turns, she winks, and she smiles gently
As the bull runs straight into me

[Chorus]
I lay, I lay
I lay, I lay
I lay my eyes on the devil
"Blue-eyed matador!" i cried
"I fell for your wicked disguise"
