We live and dream about the future Please ask Neil, I need to pow wow, now Sift through the annals of our flavored 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 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 rule books 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 heard what you said (Lay me down, down, down, down) I picture brass rings in your head (Lay me down, down, down, down) While gold and bronze are... bon bons (down, down, down) Brass is mixed with lead (down, down, down)
