Lyrics

There's a serpent feel to the cowboy's tongue
There's a stench in the air 'round the streets we run
It's a battlefield, it's a full-blown war
There's a smile on your face and a settled score
Does it pick up, pick up if you tell them so?
Will you give up, give up when the numbers go?
Did you pull some strings? Have you sacrificed?
Did you bite down hard when you named your price?
Is it fear that keeps alive the talk of glory?
Is it pride that comes before another hard luck story?
Tell everyone you can
Sell me your one night stand
It's a numbers game
It's the numbers I play
If your family's blood doesn't count for much
You're a wounded leg and a broken crutch
Maybe narcissist, maybe nepotist
Maybe friends in high places or lovers' twists
And the future's bright, now your path exists
Now you've pushed yourself through the parapet
I'll forget your face, I'll forget your name
I'll forget myself and you'll do the same
Is it fear that keeps alive the talk of glory?
Is it pride that comes before another hard luck story?
Tell everyone you can
Sell me your one night stand
It's a numbers game
It's the numbers I play
And praise all your false idols
And pray your words are titled
And rise above your rivals
And praise all your false idols now
Tell everyone you can
Sell me your one night stand
It's a numbers game
It's the numbers I play
It's a numbers game
It's the numbers I play
I fear the man in the mirror has emerald sight
And he can't stop these thoughts when he turns out the light
Yes, the man in the mirror is losing his mind
And the face of the man in the mirror is mine
