Finish Line

[Verse 1] Wind blows snow outside my window Crowd below runs wild in the streets Two rented brothers race down two separate alleys Heading for the finish line [Verse 2] Down in the train yard, out by the stockyard Butchers with aprons hack meat in the snow Blood has the brothers pulsing with envy Heading for the finish line [Verse 3] Two rented brothers, their faces keep changing Just like these feelings I have for you Nothing's forever, not even five minutes When you're headed for the finish line [Verse 4] Down in the depot, out by the meat rack Down by the tunnels surrounding the jail Prisoners are marching in squares and in circles They're heading for the finish line [Instrumental Verse] Mmm mmm Ah ha ah ha Oh oh [Verse 5] They're lining up for Noah's Ark They're stabbing each other in the dark Saluting a flag made of some rich guy's socks Heading for the finish line [Verse 6] Close to the line the ice is cracking Two rented feelings sitting in the stands Two mothers, two fathers and both of them are paid for All of a sudden it comes back to me [Verse 7] Just up ahead is the finish line Two rented referees and two checkered rags Out of the corner of my eye comes a dark horse with black wings Ooh ooh, headed for the finish line [Verse 8] I'm five years old, the room is fuzzy I think there's also a very young girl It's so hard to remember what happened exactly As I'm staring at the finish line [Outro] Ooh first came fire then came light Then came feeling then came sight
