Lyrics
LOSER'S RACE
by Mario Jojola
That woman at the bar could be you in twenty years
It might not take that long if you just double up the beers
And break my heart you'd do it
As if you put a blade right through it
CHORUS
Slow death without a pain
Till you're awakened by the morning rain
On a stranger's bed in a stranger place
This whiskey living's just a Loser's Race
It's a Loser's Race
Some people can go on and on, round and round the clock
They fill their glass with whiskey and their hours with talk
You never know that they're fading
I am talking to you I'm not insinuating
The smilers in the smoky light laugh and wait for two
Trying to stretch their heartbeats and hide from the truth
Careful not to show you, they might be afraid
Always kind of guarded as they smile and sway
