Jill Sobule - League Of Failures lyrics

I once saw it in a book I had God was by my side My name in lights up there on the marquee And God was very proud I've been a miner for a heart of gold A dreamer who just won't wake up I thought I'd plunge into the deepest vein It wasn't deep enough And I will fall a hundred stories And open up my hand And scatter all my dreams of glory Like seeds upon the land Still have your picture on my wall of faith Next to the grocery list I keep forgetting I should take you down I'm gonna take you down And I will fall a hundred stories And open up my hand And scatter all my dreams of glory Like seeds upon the land And I'll join the league of failures And I will be resigned To fall a hundred stories And leave it all behind And I will promise to forget the ones Who took more than they gave At least I'll have some peace of mind As I dig their graves And on my way down I hope to see The one I hurt the most Perhaps he'll open up his window And we'll fly this ghost And I will fall a hundred stories And open up my hand And scatter all my dreams of glory Like seeds upon the land And I'll join the league of failures I bet that I'll be glad To fall a hundred stories And I'll have peace at last And I'll set this house on fire And burn the whole thing down My laurels turned to ashes And I'll still be around
