Lazing in shadows,
Conceding the drawing room
to moonrays

Lazing in Shadows (naviarhaiku504)

Song by the Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven 

Lyrics:
Help – it’s gonna take me down
Way – it’s gonna take me way down, down, down, down
Hey – it’s gonna break me down
Way – it’s gonna break me way down, down, down, down
Stay until the morning comes
Stay until it comes
Wait until the morning comes
Wait until it comes
Help – it’s gonna take me down
Way – it’s gonna take me way down, down, down, down
Help – it’s gonna take me down
Way – it’s gonna take me way down, down, down, down
Stay until the morning comes [It’s gonna take me down, down, down down]
Stay until it comes [It’s gonna take me down, down, down down]
Wait until the morning comes [It’s gonna take me down, down, down down]
Wait until it comes [It’s gonna take me down, down, down down]
It’s gonna take me way down, down, down, down
Way down, down, down, down,
It’s gonna take me down


Down
