The Art of Losing

You've got a lot to learn (Do, do, do, do, do)

About the art of losing, yeah

Then you take your turn (Do, do, do, do, do)

At the art of losing

You drink more than he takes

Is it some kind of race?

But do you want the marks to prove that you do

Matter more than he says?

Is it some kind of wake up?

So what did you learn when life was unkind?

Was there some purpose to losing my mind?

And I know we're ill at ease

With questions of need

Absolving ourselves in situations like these

She got a lot to learn (Do, do, do, do, do)

About the art of losing again

Then she takes her turn (Do, do, do, do, do)

At the art of losing

One more child

One more rape

Now

And yet the mask conceals what you lose

Lessons born in the grief

Must repair or repeat now

So what did you learn when life was unkind?

And was there some purpose to losing my mind?

And I know we're ill at ease
