Tell The Sun to Lay Low © 2006 John Margolis, Don Rosler

Madam, I've come all this way to see you
Cause you're known for your mystical powers
They say that Mother Nature speaks to you
Is that true, is that true?

I begged that moon to help me out
But it moves indifferently across the sky
Now I feel desperate, I gotta try something new
Cause I can't lose this night
So for only this night can you

Tell the sun to lay low
Lay low lay low (behind my horizon)
Can you tell the sun to lay low, lay low
(Let the moon take over)
Lay low, lay low, oh lay low
Lay Lay Low oh oh oh

You say my palm reveals a straight and narrow line
But there’s a point where it takes a deep curve
Oh well she's come back, and I don’t know why
But it’s just for tonight
Then she's back to her life So oh oh oh oh

(Chorus)

Now you must implore the God of second chances!
You must entice him and enlist him right away
Invoke that moon with potions and with dances
Just this once now, come on now, just this once

Can you undo the rules of constant motion
And release this ball and chain of gravity
That makes this world go round in circles with devotion
Well tonight we’ll break free
And she will come to me

So you’ve got to
Tell the sun to Lay Low Lay Low Lay Low (behind my horizon)
You’ve got to, Tell the sun to Lay Low, La a a a Lo-w
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh oh oh LAY A A LOW
Well now I’m begging you please to tell the sun lay low
Oh won’t you help me tonight to tell the sun to
Lay, Hey, Tell the Sun To Lay Low
