Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando And I
REM
Collapse Into Now (2011)

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

Lay me down, down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down, down, down
Help me off to sleep
And take me deep again

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 ponder gold rings instead
The winners write the rulebooks
The histories and lullabies

Lay me down, down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down, down, down
Help me off to sleep (down, down, down)
And take me deep again (down, down, down)
I heard what you said (down, down, down)
I picture glass wings in your hair
While gold and bronze in bonbons
are brasses mixed with lead
