lyrics

the way to win according to the losing team
and I’m running ragged, running down
soft-spoken nonsense filters into what I mean
and talk-talk, it follows me around

when you lose it, find it, get it back and hold on tight
when you lose it, find it, get it back

in all my life, nothing seemed stranger to me
than all the fight we can keep up
and still be standing upright
and all the time spent on the extremities
is how we define
the things that we believe

if I concentrate on the best of you and me
can I keep the numbers coming up?
those few degrees between what flies and falls
ensure that I work hard enough

if you get it, grab it, and make sure that you stay on top
if you get it, grab it, stay on top
if you get it, grab it, and make sure that you stay on top
if you get it, grab it, stay on top

in all my life, nothing seemed stranger to me
than all the fight we can keep up
and still be standing upright
in all my life, nothing seemed stranger to me
than all the rights we can give up
and still be standing, aching to win
the way to win
the way to win
the way to win
the way to win
the way to win
the way

in all my life
