I can feel the sun going down around me.

And you can feel it too.

We’ve got time for one game of hide and seek.

All of them against just me and you.

And while I am counting.

I cheat and look out on

The street and see they’re already gone.

They’re all gone, gone, gone.

And I say

Why do we always lose? We always lose.

Why do we always lose? We always lose.

The cancer’s the bastard son of jetplane fuel

And bad luck I know we don’t deserve.

Money flys out my pocket and into waiting hands

And months fly by my face, faster than I can stand.

And I have quit counting

The debt that is mounting

And let you take my hand and say

There, there, there, there.

Why do we always lose? We always lose.

Why do we always lose?  We always lose.

And I say it’s hard to keep my head up

When things are always looking down.

My eyes just want to follow

The arrows to the ground.

I can tell that I am done from

The fork stuck in my side.

But listen when I say that

I’ll love you ‘till I die.

We may always lose, we always lose.

But I know that I won’t lose you.

We may always lose, we always lose.

But I know that I won’t lose you

Before you lose me.
