She was a faker
I was a fool
I tried to make her
I broke the rule
And over coffee
On the morning next
I learned the rest
Had regrets
Life lays me down
Life lays me down
Life lays me down, down
But my God will still come around around
He was a salesman
I was a fool
He had retirement
I had a stool
And over bourbon
And a Coca Cola
I fought the bad guy
And I kept my soul
Life lays me down
Life lays me down
Life can lay me down down
But my God will still come around around around around 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 which is found
To be casually gunning
For life overrunning
In heels
He squeals and 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 commune 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 will still come 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 I hear on that community screen
Sounds deeper than Yours and doubly as mean
Then the Jedi knight was right
Life lays me down
Life lays me down
Life lay you down
Life can lay me down
Life lays me down
Life lays me down
Life lay me right down oh now down
Life can lay me down
Life can lay me down
Life can lay me down down down down
Life can lay me down
So hard sometimes I even sing light jazz fusion
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 which is found
To be casually gunning
For life overrunning
In heels
He squeals and reveals
God don't cut deals
Life lays me down
Life lays me down
Life can lay me down
But my God was still coming
Around around around around around
My God
