Lay Your Head Down Lyrics

There's a devil outside of your window and it's waiting for a piece of you
And you're just so beaten down these days there's nothing that you can do
Well as soon as the sun will shine again while the night just begs for more
Your purgatory waits for you when you walk outside that door

While the dead pasts by on the sidewalk as hollow as they come
And I cannot see a sign of light when cornered where they're from
When they seem so unaffected by these streets that flow with pain
There's no love on our way and I know I feel the same

Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down

There's an angel next door in the ballroom arms open full of grace
Well I did detect strong spirits there in my glass I found the same
Well the world don't seem so bad no more when you're basking in her light
For a moment we are living while the dead can't stay outside

Well I'm just hooked on a feeling I'm flying on the wings of escape
While the neon lights protect me while reality's kept at bay
Well I hope to just don't matter when there's angels in your eyes
I belong and feel needed in a world that's filled with lies

Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down


Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down

The Mad Caddies are a ska punk band from Goleta/Santa Barbara/Solvang, California. The band formed in 1995 and has released five full-length albums, one live album, and two EP's. Their sound has influences from a wide range of genres, including ska, punk, hardcore, swing, reggae and jazz.

Founding members Chuck Robertson, Sascha Lazor, Todd Rosenberg, Carter Benson and James Malis started the group in high school but the band's membership has changed frequently since its inception. Drummer Todd Rosenberg left the band in 1999, Benson left the band in 2002, and bassist Mark Iversen left the band in 2006. The current lineup consists of:

* Chuck Robertson (lead vocals/rhythm guitar/primary lyricist)
* Sascha Lazor (lead guitar/banjo/primary composer),
* Keith Douglas (trumpet/backing vocals)
* Ed Hernandez (trombone)
* Brian Flenniken (drums/percussion),
* Cris Badham (bass guitar).


The band used to play under the name The Ivy League, but in 1996 they changed their name after signing to the Honest Don's Records label to avoid confusion (and potential litigation) with two prior bands that went by the same moniker. The band's debut album, Quality Soft Core, was released the following year. After the release of the album, the band was signed to Fat Mike's label Fat Wreck Chords, through which the Mad Caddies have since released 4 studio albums, an EP and a live album.
