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
