The Winner Loses

[Verse 1]
My friend's addicted to cocaine
Smokes day and night
Drives mom and pop insane
Living his life in the dark light
Every dollar he gets goes into the pipe

[Verse 2]
He wants to borrow some money from me
Do you think I'm blind
Don't know the score
Can't see?

[Chorus]
You wanna get high as the sky
(You're kissin' your life goodbye) You're kissin' your life goodbye
(You think it's a game) You think it's a game that you play
(But the winners lose) But the winners lose it all someday

[Verse 3]
Ya don't know who you are
Are you losin' your mind?
Things get a little tight he committed a crime
Give me your money or give me your life!
You better empty your pockets because ya
Ya don't live twice

[Chorus]
You wanna get high as the sky
(You're kissin' your life goodbye) You're kissin' your life goodbye
(You think it's a game) You think it's a game that you play
(But the winners lose) But the winners lose it all someday

[Verse 4]
He took the money to the dope man
And he said he had the best
Next thing ya knew, cardiac arrest!
It was a rollercoaster, he couldn't get off
Next thing I knew my friend's life was lost. Nooooooooo

[Guitar solo/Bridge]
You think it's a game, you think it's a game
You think it's a game, you think it's a game
You think it's a game, you think it's a game
You think it's a game, you think it's a game
You think it's a game, you think it's a game
You think it's a game, you think it's a game
You think it's a game, you think it's a game
You think it's a game, you think it's a game
You think it's a game, you think it's a game
You think it's a game, you think it's a game
You think it's a game, you think it's a game
You think it's a game, you think it's a game

[Chorus]
You wanna get high as the sky
(You're kissin' your life goodbye) You're kissin' your life goodbye
(You think it's a game) You think it's a game that you play
(But the winners lose) But the winners lose it all someday
You wanna get high as the sky
(You're kissin' your life goodbye) You're kissin' your life goodbye
(You think it's a game) You think it's a game that you play
(But the winners lose) But the winners lose it all someday
You wanna get high as the sky
(You're kissin' your life goodbye) You're kissin' your life goodbye
(You think it's a game) You think it's a game that you play
(But the winners lose) But the winners lose it all someday

[Outro]
You wanna get high as the sky
