You beat your head against the wall Until you're all covered in brains It isn't very smart... When you already know the outcome from the start You dreamed of something fine But then you never slapped your face You never let it die... You might as well be chasing dragons in the sky Oh come on now You've gotta move on The night's too short to sit around and pout The night's too short to sit around and pout You gave it everything you had That's all that anyone can ask
But now you push your luck The truth is gonna come along and hit you Like a truck Oh come on now You've gotta move on The night's too short to sit around and pout The night's too short to sit around and pout Oh come on now Let's be realistic You took your shot You gotta figure it out The night's too short to sit around and pout The night's too short to sit around and pout Don't lie down Don't lie down Don't lie down
