Jude - Life Lays Me Down Lyrics

She was a faker, I was a fool
I tried to make her, I broke the rule
And over coffee all the mornin' 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 comin'
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 comin'
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's 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 and the priest who'd said

Life lays me down
Life lays me down
Boy life lay you down down
But my God was still comin'
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 lays you down
Life can lay me down
Life lays me down
Life lays me down

Life lays me right down, on the ground
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

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's 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 comin'
Around, around, around, around, around
My God
