The Race

Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones come marching in again

"Come on, Gary, it's a race! A race! Have you heard of 'em?!"

This ain't a scene
It's a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene
It's a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene
It's a god damn arms race
I'm not a shoulder to cry on
But I digress

I'm gonna make it bend and break
(It sent you to me without wings)
Say a prayer but let the good times roll
In case God doesn't show
(Let the good times roll, let the good times roll)

And I want these words to makе things right
But it's the wrongs that makes the words comе to life
Who does he think he is?
If that's the worst you got
Better put your fingers back to the keys

One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
See, he tastes like you
Only sweeter

One night, yeah, one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
See, he tastes like you
Only sweeter

Are you ready?

What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?

In time or so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We're temporary
Are you ready?

What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?

What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?

One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
See, he tastes like you
Only sweeter

I'm looking forward to the future
But my eyesight is going bad
And this crystal ball
It's always cloudy except for (Except for)
When you look into the past (Look into the past)
One night stand
One night stand off!

One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
See, he tastes like you
Only sweeter

One night, yeah, one more time
(What if I say I'm not like the others?)
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
(What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?)
(You're the pretender)
See, he tastes like you
Only sweeter
(What if I say I will never surrender?)

One night, yeah, one more time (One more night, one more time)
(What if I say I'm not like the others?)
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
(What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?)
See, he tastes like you
(You're the pretender)
Only sweeter
(What if I say I will never surrender?)

(What a beautiful...)
