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: one, two, three 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: one, two, three 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: one, two, three times, and you lose

I'm all out of luck

So there's nothing really more to say

I'm throwing it all away

I'm throwing it all away

I'm throwing it all away
