You can lie to yourself, you can lie to the world
|
You can lie to the one you call your girl
|
You can humble yourself to the hearts that you stole
|
Wondering who's gonna love you when you grow old?
|
|
With a fistful of courage and a heart full of rage
|
I realized I'd locked myself in a cage
|
I'll be the one standing there with the watery eyes
|
I'll be the fool in the mirror asking you whyasking why
|
|
When I got to the end of my dirty rainbow
|
And I found that there was no pot of gold
|
Well, I learned that I was empty and not quite as strong
|
For I had robbed my heart and cheated my soul
|
|
Look for the one with the watery eyes
|
I'll be the fool in the mirror asking you why
|
Cursing lovers in a warm tender embrace
|
Scoffing at the world and the whole human race
|
|
Chorus:
|
You can run, you can hide
|
You can feed your foolish pride
|
You can use and abuse
|
In the end you'll always loseat the game
|

Chorus:
|
You can run, you can hide
|
You can feed your foolish pride
|
With the hearts that you stole
|
And an empty pot of gold
|
And the lover's warm embrace
|
And the whole damned human race
|
You can use and abuse
|
In the end you'll always loseat the game
|
|
"For I cheated myself at solitaire."
