Idlewild - In Competition for the Worst Time lyrics

In competition for the worst first line I could use In conversation for the first time Find salvation and breathe in each breath that I choose In competition for the worst time Brooklyn lies bleeding in the afternoon Always four or five steps from misfortune To drown out moments of revelation In competition for the worst time I know my name but I can't deny I talk in silence like I'm used to Graduation fits the worst time I could use Confidence for the first time Take the money and the drink you are going to refuse In competition for the worst time Glasgow lies bleeding in the afternoon A practical response to good fortune I dream my moments of revelation In competition for the worst time And though I know my name I still can't deny I talk in silence like I'm used to No matter how hard I try I talk in silence like I'm used to
