Don't let the bad guys win - Last of the Barstools


The night is cold, but there's warmth in your smile
and when the meter stops running we'll hold one another through the night.
When the lights cut out, it's time to sleep and I'll wondering what you're dreaming as the ceiling rains on the sheets.
And when we wake, into a world of fear, well I promise that tomorrow I'll beg steal and borrow to dry your tears...

I used to be someone, till they gave me a number but darlin' count on me...to see this through.

Don't open the letters, leave them on the floor.
Ignore the creaking on the stairway the shadows underneath the door.
We'll hide under the bed, just like when we were kids and rest our weary bones and laugh about the times we missed.

I used to be someone, till they gave me a number but darlin' count on me...to see this through.

Don't let the bad guys win...Don't let the bad guys win...

I know it's not easy to look you in the eyes anymore, I wish I'd never stole your heart, I wish I'd never given you this life of yours.

We'll fight through the darkness, I'll work until the lights come on, well I'm lonely, I'm afraid, I'm a coward with the gift of song. I'm lonely, I'm afraid, I'm a coward with the gift of song.

I used to be your lover, but now I'm just another silly fool...I lost it all. By finding you. I lost it all. By finding you.

Who let the bad guys win? Don't let the bad guys win. Who let the bad guys win? Who let the bad guys win?
