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 reckless have regrets

Life lays me down 
Life lays me down 
Life lays me down down 
But my God was still coming 
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 was still coming 
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 that is found to be casually gunning
For life overrunning in heels 
He squeals and reveals 
God don't cut deals 

He was a saviour, I was a child 
Programmed behaviour and a Santa smile 
And over red wine and a little bread 
We commune with the divine 
And the diva in the priest who'd 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 
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
Is 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 like 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 that 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
