when the sunlight
paints the scene
rivers run so blue
the grass looks so green
but not so in
the ugly light of failure

when i take
the train to town
seven planes take off
and seven touch down
but not so in
the one horse town of failure

night night
i will take up the big fight
til i wake up and i
pick up right where i left off

so i think of
different things
and the different things
that different things bring
but they lead me
right back home to failure

night night
i will take up the big fight
til i wake up and i
pick up right where i left off

soon i'll fly
through this big black sky
to an abandoned house to haunt
please don't cry
baby if i try
i can be anything i want

on the good ship lollipop
it's a short trip
to the candy shop
but not so on
the sunk remains of failure
