Me Marlon Brando Marlon Brando and I by R.E.M. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Lay me down, down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down, down, down
Help me off to sleep
Take me deep again

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
(Take me down, down, down, down)
I picture brass rings in your head
(Take me down, down, down)
While golden and bronze are bon bons
(Down, down, down)
Brass is mixed with lead
