3 Times And You Lose

I had a nightmare

I lived in a little town

where little dreams were broken

and words were seldom spoken



I tried to reach you

but all the lines were down

And so the rain began to fall

on this little town

...on this little town



The little people

had very little left to say

their words had all been shortened

It didn't really seem important



And I had a feeling

that you were very far away

but then a little voice inside me said

"you'll never get away from here"



And it's 1, 2,

3 Times and you lose

of course it doesn't matter how you say it

I'm all out of luck

so there's nothing really more to say

I'm throwing it all away



Well we had opinions

but now we all think the same

we never look at one another

only when the other suffers



And I thought I saw you

But it was just another face

Plastered on a blank horizon

running in the human race



And it's 1, 2,

3 Times and you lose

of course it doesn't matter how you say it

I'm all out of luck

so there's nothing really more to say

I'm throwing it all away



And it's 1, 2,

3 Times and you lose

I'm all out of luck

so there's nothing really more to say

I'm throwing it all away

throwing it all away

throwing it all away
