We live and dream about the future Please ask me up. I need to pow wow now Sift through the annals of our favorite times Our heroes and all their fatal flaws Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando and I sing Lay me down, down, down, down Lay me down, down, down, down, down Help me off to sleep Or take me deep again We live and dream about our heroes I listened closely and I said, "I'm not sure where to place myself here, friend I might pawn the gold rings instead."
The winners write the rulebooks The histories and lullabies Lay me down, down, down, down Lay me down, down, down, down, down Help me off to sleep (down, down, down) Or take me deep again (down, down, down) I heard what you said (Lay me down, down, down, down) I picture bra** rings in your head (Lay me down, down, down, down) While gold and bronze are bon bons (down, down, down) Bra** is mixed with lead (down, down, down)
