Success Is Not So Sweet

Blood on the sidewalk

Washing down the drain

Rushing around the crime scene

To hide behind the stain

Hide behind the pain



Blue-colored lady

Black eye behind the shades

It's funny how the players

They can't survive the game

I'll survive the game



Rule maker, dream taker

Numbers on a sheet

The execution, the grand delusion

Success is not so sweet



Damaged for the first time

Who knew it'd be you?

You could try to save me

And I'll try to save you

Try to save you



Deal maker, heart breaker

Numbers on a sheet

The wild confusion, the strange delusion

Success is not so sweet

Success is not so sweet



You want a baby, I know you do

I'll be your baby

And I'll take care of you

I'll take care of you



Widow maker, deal-breaker

The blood runs down the street

The execution, conclusion

Success is not so sweet



Dream faker, pocket shaker

The numbers on a sheet

The execution, the institution

Success is not so sweet

Success is not so sweet

Success is not so sweet
