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
(Down, down, down)
I picture glass wings in your head
(Take me down, down, down)
While golden broads and combines
(Down, down, down)
Or brasses mixed with lead
