Barry Manilow - Winner Go Down lyrics

Fame, fame, fame, is it worth it? Fame, fame, fame, can you take it? Fame, fame, fame, are you ready? Fame, fame, fame, will you make it? You were touched With the gold Of a warm summer morning A symphony born in the sun They loved you like pagans And followed your climb The strongest Most beautiful one You’ve flown to the clouds Where the air’s very thin And the word is out All around town They’ve lined up for miles With their holiday grins They love to see A winner go down [Chorus] Winner go down Learning to lose Lie in the gravel Bathe in the blues They’ll run to the rooftops Screaming the news Winner go down Winner go down And now the arena Is quiet and darkened The crowd is covered in smiles They’re holding their breath At the thought of the slaughter But you sure kept ‘em waiting awhile They built up your legend And danced in your light ‘Til they longed For the day to come ‘round When they’d see you break down And cry like a baby They love to see a winner go down [Chorus] Winner go down Learning to lose Lie in the gravel Bathe in the blues They’ll run to the rooftops Screaming the news Winner go down Winner go down Fame, fame, fame, is it worth it? Fame, fame, fame, can you take it? Fame, fame The trial is over The crowd has gone home Yes, all their predictions came true But even the thrill Being there for the fall It’s just glory they borrowed from you [Chorus] Winner go down Learning to lose Lie in the gravel Bathe in the blues They’ll run to the rooftops Screaming the news Winner go down They love to see a winner go down Learning to lose Lie in the gravel Bathe in the blues They’ll run to the rooftops Screaming the news Winner go down I hate to see a winner go down
