The Last One Standing
(I've measured my days in shot glasses and butchers' blocks,
cocaine mirrors, lovers tears and broken clocks.
Signed my name in blood and drank from the remains,
justified and alibied and then I passed the blame)
I built my own nation, looked in the mirror.
I couldn't be touched, now there's nobody here.
If love is for suckers and trust is for fools,
I hid from the others and made my own rules.
Just a momento, a souvenir
and a photo to know that you were here.
All alone under the lights
I'm the last one standing.
(I set examples by saying nothing and watched the others fall,
dusted myself off and stood against the wall,
I pointed to the fools who tried to make some sense,
tore apart my enemies in the name of self-defense.)
I survived with slightly less,
slouched to perfection, taller than the rest.
I led by example with nothing at all,
I led from the waist up and watched the others fall.
Just a momento, a souvenir
and a photo to know that you were here.
All alone under the lights
I'm the last one standing.
Just a momento, a souvenir
and a photo to know that you were here.
All alone under the lights
I'm the last one standing.
cocaine mirrors, lovers tears and broken clocks.
Signed my name in blood and drank from the remains,
justified and alibied and then I passed the blame)
I built my own nation, looked in the mirror.
I couldn't be touched, now there's nobody here.
If love is for suckers and trust is for fools,
I hid from the others and made my own rules.
Just a momento, a souvenir
and a photo to know that you were here.
All alone under the lights
I'm the last one standing.
(I set examples by saying nothing and watched the others fall,
dusted myself off and stood against the wall,
I pointed to the fools who tried to make some sense,
tore apart my enemies in the name of self-defense.)
I survived with slightly less,
slouched to perfection, taller than the rest.
I led by example with nothing at all,
I led from the waist up and watched the others fall.
Just a momento, a souvenir
and a photo to know that you were here.
All alone under the lights
I'm the last one standing.
Just a momento, a souvenir
and a photo to know that you were here.
All alone under the lights
I'm the last one standing.
