Success Is Not So Sweet - text

Blood on the sidewalk
Washing down the drain
Rushing 'round the crime scene
To hide behind the stain

Hide behind the pain

Blue-colored lady
Black eye behind her shades
It's funny how the players
They can't survive the game

I'll survive the game

Rulemaker
Dreamtaker
Numbers on a sheet

The execution
The grand delusion
Success is not so sweet

Damaged for the first time
Who knew it'd be you?
You could try to save me
And I'll try to save you

Try to save you

Dealmaker
Heartbreaker
Numbers on a sheet

The wild confusion
The strange delusion
Success is not so sweet

Success is not so sweet

You want a baby
I know you do
I'll be your baby
And I'll take care of you

I'll take care of you

Widowmaker
Dealbreaker
The blood runs down the street

The execution
Conclusion
Success is not so sweet

Dreamfaker
Pocket-shaker
The numbers on a sheet

The execution
The institution
Success is not so sweet

Success is not so sweet (×2)
