Explanation:

This works exactly like sit/set and raise/rise:
You have to SAY something.  You have to LAY something.

• "Lay" is what you do to something else:
  "Lay your book down."  [The book doesn’t lay itself down.]
• "Lie" is something you do yourself, (like "sit" and "rise"). 
  You sit down, and you lie down.  
• If you say "I’m going to go lay down," I'll ask you "Really, what are you going to lay down?"  You have to lay down a thing.
