How Can I Win
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.
Happiness isn't everything
It takes a cynic to know
Tell me this isn't happening
I've got a long way to go
A long way to go
To cause a disturbance
I'd drive through the snow -you know- oh you know
Talked to you on the telephone
You didn't hear what I said
Is it me or is it you
Maybe it's all in my head
All in my head
To cause a disturbance
I'd drive through the snow -you know- oh you know
How can I win
No, I'm not joking
How can I win
I'm just devoted
How can I win
You know I'm choking
How can I win
I'm just devoted
Got no axe to grind with you
I'm too tired to fight
Got to do what I want to do
I want to blow out the night
Blow out the night
To start a disturbance
I'd drive through the snow -you know- oh you know
How can I win
No, I'm not joking
How can I win
I'm just devoted
How can I win
You know I'm choking
How can I win
I'm just devoted
How can I win
How can I win
I'm just floating etc.
