You Always Win (feat. Kelley Deal)
The moon is a former friend
Who no longer lights the way
Through an ever thickening lens
I see only frightening things
That's if I see them at all
Against the yellow wall
You win again
Up the four flights of stairs
On the landing a child's chair
I suppose we can talk of that
The future feels like the past
I've lost all my keys
The lock has defeated me
You win again
The rectified has let me down
It churns my guts and busts my skull
I await the decade of
Fortified pills and milky tea
Restful days with polite company
Pull that sheet right over me
You win again
Clean mind or clean body
Choose one or the other
Having both seems over indulgent
You say normal people live this way
They learned it from an early age
It all seems so strange
So strange
I mumble, you win again
I go grey, you win again
I grow weak, you win again
I lose my way, you win again
You win again
You always win
You always win
It's a game I must play
It's what I must do
So deal me in
Deal me in, deal me in, deal me in, deal me in, deal me in
You always win
Always, always win
So deal me in, deal me in, deal me in, deal me in, deal me in
Who no longer lights the way
Through an ever thickening lens
I see only frightening things
That's if I see them at all
Against the yellow wall
You win again
Up the four flights of stairs
On the landing a child's chair
I suppose we can talk of that
The future feels like the past
I've lost all my keys
The lock has defeated me
You win again
The rectified has let me down
It churns my guts and busts my skull
I await the decade of
Fortified pills and milky tea
Restful days with polite company
Pull that sheet right over me
You win again
Clean mind or clean body
Choose one or the other
Having both seems over indulgent
You say normal people live this way
They learned it from an early age
It all seems so strange
So strange
I mumble, you win again
I go grey, you win again
I grow weak, you win again
I lose my way, you win again
You win again
You always win
You always win
It's a game I must play
It's what I must do
So deal me in
Deal me in, deal me in, deal me in, deal me in, deal me in
You always win
Always, always win
So deal me in, deal me in, deal me in, deal me in, deal me in
