Life Lays Me Down - Lyrics by Jude


Lyrics

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
