Keep me safe, lie with me
Stay beside me don't go
This terrible place
Commit this to memory and mind
Keep your heart off your sleeve
Far from the sprawl of concrete that keeps
Stay beside me don't go, don't go
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes
If you want the best of it or the most of all
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes
Don't miss this wasteland
Keep me safe, lie with me
Now come on shot gun bride
Crawling its way about 1,000 miles a day
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes
Faceless, nameless
Keep me safe, lie with me
Oh, my five and dime queen
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes
Lullaby me to sleep
When you leave
Lullaby me to sleep
And for that I'd do anything at all, oh, mercy me
Innocent and blameless
Keep me safe, lie with me
Take one last look behind
The cavernous greed
And free
Stay beside me don't go, don't you go
The bottomless
Is that what you see
What's that like to be?
Lullaby me to sleep
The lust and the avarice
Stay beside me don't go, don't go
What makes me envy your life?
It's your happiness I want most of all
Tell me what have you seen?
Lullaby me to sleep
If there's anything I can do at all
