We took 'em high, we took 'em straight up the hill,
|
They wanted it all, we gave 'em such a fill.
|
In their parades we stole every thrill
|
And in their games we made every kill.
|
|
We took them hard, we took them up against the wall.
|
In their loss we never let them fall
|
In their flames we sailed up to the moon
|
In their rains we slayed dry like a fire would.
|
|
So the bottom of my fears
|
Is that the girl might just disappear,
|
But that'll be the death of me,
|
The day she's just a memory
|
|
Well she turned out the lights
|
When she opened the whites of my eyes
|
Another one in the dark
|
Broken hearted mama
|
Just another one in the dark.
|
|
When we rolled, rolled on like a big drum,
|
We went to the top just above everyone,
|
They wanted to win, tie us up with a string, and steal everything.
|
We took 'em skin on skin, we laid 'em down in the ring.
|
|
So I swear, we're a pair,
|
Like loneliness and a prayer,
|
And you know I may still believe,
|
You may still need me.
|
|
Well, she turned out the lights
|
When she opened the whites of my eyes
|
Another one in the dark
|
Broken from the start
|
Just another one in the dark.
|
|
And in their nights we made out with a loud scream,
|
And in their sleep we howled inside every dream,
|
So if you're trying to break me,
|
Come on why don't you shake me,
|
Right out of my tree,
|
The one that you made me, me
|
|
Well, she sang out of tune,
|
When she shot down the moon,
|
As I saw my all freeze,
|
Down onto my knees,
|
Where I was hit at the hip,
|
Between the cup and the lip,
|
As I was struck down under
|
With lightning and thunder,
|
As she cut all the strings
|
That I'd tied to her wings
|
Leaving me in the dark,
|
We stood just feet apart,
|
But she never seen me at all.
