You Always Win

[Verse 1] The moon is a former friend who no longer lights the way Through an ever thickening lens I see only frightening things That's if I see them at all against the yellow wall You win again [Verse 2] Up the four flights of stairs On the landing a child's chair I suppose we can talk of that The future feels like the past I've lost all my keys The lock has defeated me You win again [Verse 3] The rectified has let me down It churns my guts and busts my skull I await the decade of Fortified pills and milky tea Restful days with polite company Pull that sheet right over me You win again [Chorus] Clean mind or clean body, choose one or the other Having both seems over indulgent You say normal people live this way They learned it from an early age It all seems so strange So strange I mumble - you win again I go grey - you win again I grow weak - you win again I lose my way - you win again You win again You always win You always win [Outro] It's a game I must play It's what I must do So deal me in Deal me in
