| Drag your finger down the long list
|
| Pass the rosenthals and blankets
|
| You hear the footsteps coming down the hall
|
| Bronze and silver medals hung on the wall
|
| And the punches thrown in the air
|
| And some punches, if nobody’s standing there
|
| And the latter finally comes
|
| Unsealed envelopes
|
| Cause you won
|
| But you lost
|
| A thousand times before
|
| It wasn’t over
|
| And though sometimes
|
| It seems there is no explanation
|
| It’s just because
|
| You could be a champion
|
| Left hook, uppercut
|
| If only for the night
|
| Feel your feet lift up off of the pavement
|
| Above the two story houses, you’ve taken flight
|
| Written words of Elizabeth plan
|
| 6 o’clock
|
| It’s half past
|
| Live like Wallace and his women
|
| She had champagne for us
|
| As dreamers do
|
| I did believe
|
| There will be consequences for my foolish
|
| Put the tape in the VCR
|
| Go to channel 3
|
| You could be a champion
|
| Left hook, uppercut
|
| If only for the night
|
| Feel your feet lift up off of the pavement
|
| Above the two story house, you’ve taken flight
|
| Was it William Duke of Normandy
|
| Fought his last fight, before nightfall
|
| Advancing armies from the left and right
|
| They lit the cannons, but didn’t fire
|
| They didn’t fire
|
| But you lost, a thousand times before
|
| It wasn’t over
