Walk Into This Room (Lay it Down, Child)

Don't let 'em get to your heart Don't lose a dime's worth of swimming in a lake when its only a garden. The whole wide world feels like a shrine built to the worker bees, Who stole it from God anyhow. Lay it down child... Lay it down.... child And walk into this room Don't let 'em get to your spark; That little light in the back of everything that says this; "Its a formula and the whole wide wealth is like a cloud of mad scientists removing the genes. So they can freeze dry you and put you in a box.” Lay it down..... child Lay it down...... child And walk into this room I made with love for you Lay it down child....you can ... you can....lay it down child... And walk into this ro..o...o...o...m ohhhhaahhhhhhhhh A hundred candles to make the walls come alive A little frankincense to sweeten the air....... just right.. Now take my hand........ And open the....door....open the door... take....ohhhhhoooooooo take ...ohhhoooooooooo Lay it down child.....you can...... lay it down child And walk into this roooooommm Walk into this room lay it down... just lay it down...lay it down... Lay it down lay it down to this room. slow fade
