Enemy lines
Drawn the same time
Who will lie?
Give it all back
Fade it to black
And watch it die
And you never see it coming
You just wave it good-bye
And it’s gone
So I’ll sing us down the river
We’ll pick up and carry on
Even though we never really knew what for
Took a good long look at failure
‘Til I couldn’t anymore
I won the battle
But we lost the war
Pictures of life
Taken at night
With you blurred out
Funny some how,
I see it clear now
And hear the sounds
Of the trains at the station
Where I first picked you up
I let you down.
So I’ll sing us down the river
We’ll pick up and carry on
Even though we never really knew what for
Took a good long look at failure
‘Til I couldn’t anymore
I won the battle
But we lost the war
So I’ll sing us down the river
We’ll pick up and carry on
Even though we never really knew what for
Took a good long look at failure
‘Til we couldn’t anymore
We won the battle
But we lost the war
