We took 'em high, we took 'em straight up the hill They wanted it all, we gave 'em such a fill In their parades we stole every thrill And in their games we made every kill We took them hard, we took them up against the wall In their loss we never let them fall In their flames we sailed up to the moon In their rains we stayed dry like a fire would So the bottom of my fears Is that the girl might just disappear But that'll be the death of me The day she's just a memory ( ) Well she turned out the lights When she opened the whites of my eyes Another one in the dark Broken hearted mama Just another one in the dark When we rolled, rolled on like a big drum We went to the top just above everyone They wanted to win, tie us up with a string, and steal everything We took 'em skin on skin, we laid 'em down in the ring So I swear, we're a pair Like loneliness and a prayer And you know I may still believe You may still need me ( ) Well, she turned out the lights When she opened the whites of my eyes Another one in the dark Broken from the start Just another one in the dark And in their nights we made out with a loud scream And in their sleep we howled inside every dream So if you're trying to break me Come on why don't you shake me Right out of my tree, the one that you made me, me Well, she sang out of tune When she shot down the moon As I saw my all freeze Down onto my knees Where I was hit at the hip, between the cup and the lip As I was struck down under, with lightning and thunder As she cut all the strings, that I'd tied to her wings Leaving me in the dark, we stood just feet apart But she never seen me at all
