Life Lays Me Down
She was a faker,
I was a fool
I tried to make her,
I broke the rule
And over coffee
The morning next
I learned the reddest
head regrets.
Life lays me down
Life lays me down
Life lays me down
But my God was still coming around
He was a salesman,
I was a fool
He had retirement,
I had a stool
Over bourbon
And coca col
I fought the bad guy
And kept my soul
Life lays me down
Life lays me down
Life lays me down
But my God was still coming around
And it's a full house flush with a bass and a brush
And a subtle soft shade of the cheekbone blade
And the world turns around the sun that’s found
To be casually gunning for life overrunning in heels
He squeals
That reveals
God don't cut deals
He was a savior,
I was a child
Programmed behavior
And a Santa smile
And over red wine
And a little bread
We communed with the divine
And the diva in the priest suit said
Life lays me down
Life lays me down
Boy life lay you down, down
But my God was still coming
around around around around around
And it's a drag queen sheriff of a ghost town
Probably since the last days of hate
When the mushroom clouds came down
Smoke signaling too late
And CNN broke the blow dry grip
For a flash of the end like it's some hot tip
And God,
If the last voice that I hear on that community screen
Is deeper than Yours and doubly as mean,
Then the Jedi knight was right
Life lays me down
Life lays me down
Boy life lay you down, down
But my God was still coming
around around around around around
My God
