I tease it to forget when you have seen it all before I will be going through the motions as I lead you at the bar You can get drinks and I will bring this city to its knees I've got the answers up my sleeve And I'll go toe to toe with your success Trading blow for blow I will lose one hope Withering but beautiful career For this exercise in patience For this glorious mess Take it back to beginning Tired of color to demise Give us something to believe in Give us something we can trust I will be dressed for the occasion All I touch will turn to dust And it isn't quite the same way You've seen how the trick is done You can feed me to the ma**es It this cold thing sets it off To fill those spaces in-between You can wave and wait to see But there is no waste for the memory And there's no room for the weak And I'll go toe to toe with your success Trading blow for blow I will lose one hope Withering but beautiful career For this exercise in me For this glorious mess Take it back to the beginning Tie our colors to the mast And I'll go toe to toe with your success Trading blow for blow I will lose one hope Withering but beautiful career For this exercise in patience For this glorious mess Take it back to go away Tired of color to demise
