Down With A Fight

All the nights you were up until five Watchin' your whole world in black and white You're goin' down, down, down all the time You're goin' down with a fight All the times you were too polite Pullin' a face 'til it hurt you to smile Took you in from the wild A flower child in broad daylight You'll go down with a fight You'll go down with a fight Keep you up every night 'Til you go out of your mind You'll go down with a fight You'll go down with a fight You'll go down with a fight 'Til you're all out of time 'Til you're down to the wire And you think it was right All the nights that you picked up the phone When I thought I was up alone And now it's all I know It's all I know I'd have to burn off every touch Torch my memories and bury the dust Loathe over lust Or learn how to give up You'll go down with a fight You'll go down with a fight Keep you up every night 'Til you go out of your mind You'll go down with a fight You'll go down with a fight You'll go down with a fight 'Til you're all out of time 'Til you're down to the wire And you think it was right It has to be right The sensation's lost A thickening semigloss It's out of my control Sharply doubled-crossed Stamped gold and embossed Everyone's gone cold All the stories that held me up Stare at my hands And play with the dust Gold plate on top of rust All the times you were too polite Holding a face 'til it hurt you to smile Now I know your style And a lie means a fight The sensation's lost A thickening semigloss It's out of my control Sharply doubled-crossed Stamped gold and embossed Everyone's gone cold
