|
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." |
