"Lay My Head Down Slow" is an auto-tuned song sung by Finn in the episode "Freak City." It was sung after a deep depression brought on by his realization of being stuck as a giant foot forever in a cave filled with other random body parts of people transformed by the Magic Man. As the song continues, Finn realizes he must continue being a hero, and kicks the other body parts outside of the cave in order to find a plan to find Magic Man.
Lyrics
Finn: Is this really my life? Is this how my story ends? Bein' in this body Seems like a battle that I cannot win. |
Maybe I should lay my head down slow And sleep until it's all over. Is this the end of the hero boy named Finn? |
Heck, no! Darn it, no! This isn't how I go! I'm gonna kill it! I'm gonna kick life's butt I'm in it to win it. |
I'm gonna take life's name And spit on it and kick it! Life can just go eat it 'Cause this is a man's game! |
Finn: Get up, Gork! Gork: Huh? Why? |
Finn: I'm not gonna let you lie here And waste away. You better get up, Gork, or I'll kick you up. Today's the day! |
Gork: Whoa. Okay, man, just be cool. |
Finn: And I'm not gonna be cool! 'Cause I'm pipin' hot! Get up, Trudy! Get up, Kim! I'm not gonna let you rot! |
Jake: Hey, Finn. Finn: Ja-a-a-ke, stop tellin' me to enjoy being a foot and get out of that trash! Jake: Heh heh. I can't take you seriously when you're singing, man. |
Finn: Get up! All of you make me sick! I'll fix you with my kicks! Gonna reconstruct y'all's self worth Brick by emotional brick. |
