lyrics

I danced into the morning ‘til I couldn’t feel my feet
As if to sit and rest a while was a signal of defeat
I clamped my hands over my ears, I spun so fast around
And I prayed that I would never ever come down


But we are told that even if we lose the fight
Everything’s gonna be alright
If we keep punching like we’re featherweights

I listen to the rhythm of the drums under the floor
So loud it gets me to the place I don’t think of you no more
I drink tonight as if the booze will re-incarnate my faith
But it ain’t faith but hope that got me to this sorry, sorry place

Cos we are told that even if we lose the fight
Everything’s gonna be alright
If we keep punching like we’re featherweights
All these years I ain’t ever won a round
Keep waiting for the bell to sound
I ain’t punching like no featherweight

So I’m gonna make sure this weekend never ever ends
Tonight nothing else matters, my life on this depends
I’ll chase you from the doorways where you lean quiet in my mind
And I’ll drink and dance and fuck ‘til I go deaf, dumb, numb and blind

Cos we are told that even if we lose the fight
Everything’s gonna be alright
If we keep punching like we’re featherweights
All these years I ain’t ever won a round
Keep waiting for the bell to sound
I ain’t punching like no featherweight
