lyrics

LAYLA

[Chorus:]
Layla, Lay me down, you've got me on my knees Baby,
Lay me down, I'm begging darling please Layla… Lay me down
…Darling won't you ease my worried mind,
…Worried mind…Oh…! Oh Oh!

Open verse “whoever jumps on, ya know the rules, just tie these 2 verses together so the story unfolds…or not. Maybe ya can be general, and/or metaphorical…whatever, heh sure ya know what ya doing and that”

VERSE 1 - RUKAS

“You see the whole world beating her down”
You know that girl man seen her around
Sick teen the biggest damn dreamer in town
One time Ex-beauty queen with her crown
Her face? Crazy mad teenager frown
With fuck you world grin screaming it loud
But inside she knows the real meaning of down
Here’s a shoulder Layla you can lean on it now
And wow! She now a dope fiend on the brown
What the fuck went wrong Layla? we never found
Out stuck in a hole girl and need to get out
No love and the whole world beating ya down
You go girl, we believe in ya now!
Knock off my feet…You knock me off my feet Baby!

VERSE 2 – JACOB JAY
LYRICS TO FOLLOW…

VERSE 3 - RUKAS
“To be a show girl leaving the town”
Meet Wayne the partner, domestic violence
He aint the father, there’s a silence
Crucify ya friends who advised quite against
Ya raising kids how? thru a life of tense
Relationships Blah! You’d get by with sense
Ya facing six counts suicide attempts
Her therapist says…She got Daddy issues
Her parents are stressed, “come back we miss you”
Twenty years later… Pop had to see his daughter
The he hears Layla got… Perso-nality disorder
Painfull road to Shameville in a motor…
Say’n hello to the Angel on ya shoulder, “Wayne pull over!”
Knock off my feet…You knock me off my feet Baby!

The coffin was a closed casket affair the lid closed tight

In every starving land there's a fat King

And every laughing man shares a sad grin"
