I watched your lightnin' matches at you table
The white haze fired up your brain
And you laughed like hell at somethin' nobody else could see
And you weren't home to explain
You weren't home to explain
Everybody loves a loser
They want to see him pay his dues
Everybody loves a loser
But they don't want him to stand in his shoes
They don't want him to stand in his shoes
I watched you heart subsiding
The angels in you couldn't stand the pace
Stone statues with dark faces now stood in their place
Now stood in their place
Everybody loves a loser
They want to see him pay his dues
Everybody loves a loser
But they don't want him to stand in his shoes
They don't want him to stand in his shoes
They found you on the ground one morning
Dead soldier laying by your side
And wondered who it was they tried to kid
When they said you almost died
When they said you almost diedDirty cups keep on pilin' up
Won't be long until I'm trippin' over
Magazines I never take the time to read
There's enough for me to think about
To watch the news, what I don't know won't hurt me
Never stops, always another job to do
What's the whole world runnin' round in circles for?
That's all right, in the quiet I escape
Everybody's givin' less and takin' more
Grab your share, I don't care, I'm miles away
A little change left by the telephone
Just enough to keep myself from goin'
Down the drain there goes another day again
What's the whole world runnin' round in circles for?
That's all right, in the quiet I escape
Everybody's givin' less and takin' more
Grab your share, I don't care, I'm miles away
Miles and miles away
Miles and miles away
Down the drain there goes another day again
What's the whole world runnin' round in circles for?
That's all right, in the quiet I escape
Everybody's givin' less and takin' more
Grab your share, I don't care, I'm miles away
Miles and miles away
What's the whole world runnin' round in circles for?
What's the whole world runnin' round in circles for?
Dirty cups keep on pilin' up
