Winner Take All
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.
Time is up I don't know where you are
Sands run down, I can't see that far
Are you shock straight back into another star
Where your mouth it moves, but the words don't come
You don't give it another thought
Little round peg in a big square slot
Strangest son in a big top coat
If you go that far then that's all she wrote
Win or lose you've got the berlin blues
Your back's to the wall
Winner take all, take all
I know the face can you remember the name
You know the one with the silicon plan
The high step roller from the argentine
The one they all called the wolverine
You kept your back to the wind
And your tracks so clean.
They all wanted to get to you
They all wanted to know if it was true
Were you standing in the shadows in old kitzbuhl
Getting oh so high when you turned the screw
Could you feel us there, did you know that we knew
Win or lose......
I see a light, I can hear a voice as someone says
You're going home for good tonight
If you win or lose, you've got the berlin blues
When you back's to the wall
Winner, take all take all
They'll try to tell you that's all
Winner take all, all
