Paroles de Losing Battles

Lost man sining for his soul
I saw it on Rio Bravo
He held the notes like rock and roll
And told his tale to Colorado

I gave up my only twin
I turned my face to the world of shadows
Sometimes the righteous win
Most times, it's a losing battle

Swam naked in the mythic lake
Spent the night on the face of the earth
From the apple tree, I ripped a snake
It was a poison but I knew of its worth

Kept it in a box of wood
Fed it all my sins and apples
Tried to do the things I should
Till then, it’s a losing battle

It's always been in my nature to be the beast
Blame the maker but stay with me

Drifted down to Tennessee
Lost my heart to a girl of silver
She was trying to be free That’s when trouble spoke
Sometimes, it's a losing battle

It's always been in my nature to be the beast
Blame the maker but stay with me

Fell into a den of thieves
Got lost in the caves of virtue
Born again and lost belief
Without a friend till the day I met you

Now I'm trying to mend my ways
I had enough of pain and bad will
Good enough for you someday
Till then, it's a losing battle
