R.E.M. Lyrics

"Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando and I" lyrics


We live and dream about the future
Please ask Neil, I need to powwow 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
Or 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)
Or take me deep again (down, down, down)
I heard what you said (down, down, down)
I picture brass rings in your head
While gold and bronze are bon-bons
Brass is mixed with lead
