Lyrics The Destitute - Von Hertzen Brothers

The Destitute

Can’t look back I’ll just ease away
Got to leave the throne before it’s too late
Time to step down and leave the ground
The noose around my head is overwound
Oh yeah
So I lay me down
On your streets again
To find some peace of mind
And I pray these streets my soul to take
If I die before I wake
I feel the sword above my head
Hanging from a single thread of fate
Thread of fate
I want to make my own bed
But not to cry in it
I want to die in it and feel I’m safe
So lay me down on your streets again
To find some peace of mind
And I pray these streets my soul to take
If I die before I wake
Right before I go I need to let you know
Honestly you know
I’m a destitute thrown to the limelight
I was born without a home
In a palace full of strangers and catfights
Oh and from early, early on
I’ve been looking for love and a lifeline
Someone to throw me a line
So I lay me down
On your streets again
To find some peace of mind
And I pray these streets my poor soul to take
If I die before I wake
I lay me down on your streets again
Tonight my love arrives
