{​​​​​​​​​​​Verse 1}​​​​​​​​​​​
Your face looks so sweet, even in the wars
You took the rap for me, but I fell on my own sword
And now the sordid details, are all over page 4
Honey, we made the news and that's all we did this for
We drove for centuries without a sound or fuss
State penitentiaries weren't made for souls like us
There will be blood, but you will be loved
The world will know, but it's only us

{​​​​​​​​​​​Chorus}​​​​​​​​​​​
When I lay me down
I pray we, keep each day
Please stay with me

{​​​​​​​​​​​Verse 2}​​​​​​​​​​​
You painted the town red
Now everyone in the town's dead
You and I win again
Best friends 'til our last breath
Live by the gun, die by the gun
Live by the sea, live while we're young
Take from the rich, give to the poor
Run to the hills, run from the law
Ride shotgun with our crossbow
Head out North where the Sun grows
Start fresh where they don't know
The things we did, the stick-up kids
We laughed, we cried
We lived, we died
We came, we saw
We conquered them all
{​​​​​​​​​​​Chorus}​​​​​​​​​​​
When I lay me down
I pray we, keep each day
Please stay with me

{​​​​​​​​​​​Verse 3}​​​​​​​​​​​
Don't listen to what they say
Don't take the medication
They never loved us anyway
Never liked our generation
They will try and keep you
But you're still mine
And I love you, and you're strong dear
And we're fine
So, remember when the time comes
When it's over and it's all done
Meet me in the North, by the edge of the Sun

{​​​​​​​​​​​Chorus}​​​​​​​​​​​
When I lay me down
I pray we, keep each day
Please stay with me
