Good Boys (Never Win)
Blondie · Other Songs - Blondie
Satellites are falling down tonight
I see you far away
IÂ’m floating into this inescapable bliss
Changing light, I know the symptoms of
I got myself to blame
IÂ’m needing you, I just donÂ’t care anymore
Good boys never win
Good boys always follow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain
Fear of flight
IÂ’m so afraid of heights
Why are you asking why
IÂ’m walking but my feet are never touching the ground
Good boys never win
Good boys always fellow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain
Eyes wide the middle of the night
Got more money than a body got right
Riding on the "L" till the sun comes up again
You got me on your face
A big disgrace
ShakinÂ’ your feathers all over the place
You woke face down on St. MarkÂ’s Avenue
What a pity for you
What a pity for you
Good boys
Good boys never win
Good boys always follow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain
Eyes wide the middle of the night
Got more money than a body got right
Riding on the "L" till the sun comes up again
You got me on your face
A big disgrace
ShakinÂ’ your feathers all over the place
You woke face down on St. MarkÂ’s Avenue
What a pity for you
What a pity for you
What a pity for you
Good boys
What a pity for you
Good boys
I see you far away
IÂ’m floating into this inescapable bliss
Changing light, I know the symptoms of
I got myself to blame
IÂ’m needing you, I just donÂ’t care anymore
Good boys never win
Good boys always follow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain
Fear of flight
IÂ’m so afraid of heights
Why are you asking why
IÂ’m walking but my feet are never touching the ground
Good boys never win
Good boys always fellow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain
Eyes wide the middle of the night
Got more money than a body got right
Riding on the "L" till the sun comes up again
You got me on your face
A big disgrace
ShakinÂ’ your feathers all over the place
You woke face down on St. MarkÂ’s Avenue
What a pity for you
What a pity for you
Good boys
Good boys never win
Good boys always follow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain
Eyes wide the middle of the night
Got more money than a body got right
Riding on the "L" till the sun comes up again
You got me on your face
A big disgrace
ShakinÂ’ your feathers all over the place
You woke face down on St. MarkÂ’s Avenue
What a pity for you
What a pity for you
What a pity for you
Good boys
What a pity for you
