Winners

[Verse 1] There were dreams on a full moon night Big black hole in the middle of the light Painless times, yeah, we were feeling alright We were breaking down the walls Dirty little basements and electric guitars The sound of the river and the pines and the stars Drank a little too much, yeah, we took it too far Well, but most of us survived [Chorus] So much coming out, there's nothing going in With your skirt above your knee and your murderous grin Oh, tell me that you're not leaving [Verse 2] You were standing there so literal and free Writing pretty poems and ruining me It took a little time, but baby now I see That the end is always near I was sleeping on a couch with a shivering dog Practicing my speeches and studying the law Nothing in the cupboard but a hammer and a saw And some nails to drive it home [Chorus] So much coming out, there's nothing going in I could write it down, but that would be a sin And you know how I feel about sinning [Verse 3] Charlie's on stage and the roof may collapse No one seems too worried about the light in the gaps Of the walls painted yellow and papered with maps That remind us it's time to move on Pretty little city built on a hillside Music in the bars and fire in the sky We went to the beach, and it was covered in ice And I used to call it home [Chorus] So much coming out, there's nothing going in I know that you feel like you're never gonna win Oh, but the world won't forgive a winner [Instrumental Outro]
