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
