Lyrics

Archetypical Loser
by John Comerford


When you don?t know where you?re going and you don?t know where you?ve been
When you?re running low on money, and you?re running low on friends
Won?t you come on over Honey, won?t you set down for a spell
And forget about your troubles, ?cause I?ve got my own to tell


I was there with General Custer, and I was at the Alamo too
I was on the side of Napoleon when he fought at Waterloo
I ain?t never won in a poker game, though I can?t say I ain?t tried
One day I bet that the sea was wet, and that day the sea ran dry


I?m the Archetypical Loser, I?m the guy that never wins
It?s me that?s got to pay the price, I guess, for everybody?s sins
I?m the guy they always looking for when they need someone to fall
If it weren?t for all this bad luck I wouldn?t have no luck at all


I went out to Californy when they found that there was gold
Some folks struck it plenty rich but all I ever got was old
I?m the only guy that ever lost a race when there weren?t no horse but one
I?m allergic to the air I breathe, to the earth and to the sun


I?m the Archetypical Loser, I ain?t never had a break
I could tell you tales about my near success and the subsequent heartache
I put my money in asbestos, took a vampire for my bride
Only friend I ever had?s my dog and today he up and died


So won?t you come on over, honey, hear my tale of woe
I will weave my spell around you till it?s time for you to go
And if you?re kind won?t you take pity on a lonely boy so blue
I?m the Archetypical Loser, and now I?ve lost my heart to you
I?m the Archetypical Loser, and now I?ve lost my heart to you
