Lyrics
The Wrestler
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The warmth of the old
The thrill of the new
But he won't be told
Now he's taken the view
That the guilt is a foe that he'd much rather fight tomorrow
He's taking her home
He's had a few
Sally is sold
Because she's had a few too
But the guilt is a foe that they'd both rather fight tomorrow
So if you grapple get a grip
Quick, don't slip tonight
No stone cold speed or men in tights
But there's a 1,2,3 when your conscience pins you down
You can come at it with a
Drop kick, it's quick to scar
And turn a tussle into no holds barred
You are the wrestler, and your conscience pins you down
Preventing the pouts
Persuading the doubts
Removing the chance of ever being found out
Time goes, take two, so they'll tag team til tomorrow
The warmth of the old
The thrill of the new
But he won't be told
Now he's taken the view
That the guilt is a foe that they'd both rather fight tomorrow
So if you grapple get a grip
Quick, don't slip tonight
No stone cold speed or men in tights
But there's a 1,2,3 when your conscience pins you down
You can come at it with a
Drop kick, it's quick to scar
And turn a tussle into no holds barred
You are the wrestler, and your conscience pins you down
I bet everyone's been a wrestler before
Until you find that can't have her more
I bet everyone's been a wrestler before
Until you find that can't have her more
I bet everyone's been a wrestler before
Until you find that can't have her more
I bet everyone's been a wrestler before
Until you find that can't have her more
So if you grapple get a grip
Quick, don't slip tonight
No stone cold speed or men in tights
But there's a 1,2,3 when your conscience pins you down
You can come at it with a
Drop kick, it's quick to scar
And turn a tussle into no holds barred
You are the wrestler, and your conscience pins you down
