Colours Run - On My Side lyrics

I'm playing the game with earthquakes around me Shaking my novice heart The pieces have have fallen, we've all forgotten Where we're supposed to start Well, you've got the guns and I've got the money Maybe we should make a stand We'll use the confusion, break all the rules And win it with a losing hand What I found was painfully enlightening Like a shot, right between my eyes Cos it hurts trying to do the right thing When the monsters are all on your side So I'm dancing on ashes, drinking and giddy High as a silver swan You got the guts and I got the glory How could anything go wrong Well one day you left me lost in the rubble Tapping out an S.O.S The higher you drift, the swifter you crumble Crushed by your own success Now what I found was painfully enlightening Like a shot right between my eyes Cos it hurts just trying to do the right thing When the monsters are all on your side Yeah yeah yeah yeah Could you ease this hunger Why do I even wonder Still alive the quiet morning after The night, the night I should have died And I can't believe I've got my absolution Only to find I slept through half my life So I'd like to thank you for your kindness When you bled and severed all our ties Now my friends drag me from the ashes Of the monsters on my side On my side
