Charlene

Don't spend your prayers on me
Cause they might be something you need
And that hides the devil's speed
It ain't a signal worth smokin'

Take your cross and leave it there
Cause I got my own to bear
And it matches the one I bear
It's my takeaway token

So won't you lay me down, lay me down
Cause you can't forgive me
And you don't know why
Let kingdom come, your kingdom will fall around you
The kingdom will fall
Around you

This fire don't need no more flame
Cause it calls me by my name
And these ole familiar chains
God didn't make for breaking

So swallow your brimstone and fire
What you call unatural desire
It's my bones the way I was wired
And I won't be forsaken

So won't you lay me down, lay me down
Cause you can't forgive me
And you don't know why
Let kingdom come, your kingdom will fall around you
The kingdom will fall
Around you

I can't even describe
This burden in me
This feeling inside
I'll be damned if I'm wrong
For feeling this way of writing this song

So won't you lay me down, lay me down
Cause you can't forgive me
And you don't know why

Lay me down, lay me down
Cause you can't forgive me
And you don't know why
Let kingdom come, your kingdom will fall around you
The kingdom will fall
Charlene, charlene
Woah charlene (3x)
