We live and dream about the future
Please ask me out, I need to pow-wow now
So through the annals of our flavored times
Our heroes and all their fader thoughts 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
But 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
Am I upon the gold rings and stand?" 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)
Take me deep again
(Down, down, down) I have watched you sing
(Lay me down, down, down, down)
I picture gla** wings in your head
(Take me down, down, down, down) While golden broads and combines
(Down, down, down)
Or bra**es mixed with lead
