We took 'em high

We took 'em straight up the hill

In their parades

We stole every thrill

And in their games

We made every kill

So the bottom of my fears is that girl migh just disappear

But that'll be the death of me

The day she's just a memory

Well she turned out the lights

When she opened the whites of my eyes

Another one in the dark

Broken hearted mama

Just another one in the dark

When we rolled, rolled on like a big drum

We went to the top just above everyone

The wanted to win, tie us up with string

We took 'em skin on skin

We laid 'em down in the ring

Like loneliness and a prayer

And you know I may still believe

You may still need me

Well she turned out the light

When she opened the whites of my eyes

Another one in the dark

Broken hearted mama

Just another one in the dark

And in their nights we made out with a loud scream

And in their sleep we howled inside every dream

So if you're trying to break me

Come on why don't you just shake me

Right out of my tree

The one that you made me, me

Well she sang out of tune

When she shot down the moon

As I saw my all freeze

Down on to my knee

Where I was hit at the hip with lightning and thunder

As she cut all the strings that I'd tied to her wings

Leaving me in the dark

We stood just feet apart

But she never seen me at all
