We live and dream about the future
|
Please ask me out, I need to pow-wow now
|
So through the annals of our flavoured 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
|
And 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
|
|
