Winner Go Down

Fame, fame, fame, is it worth it?

Fame, fame, fame, can you take it?

Fame, fame, fame, are you ready?

Fame, fame, fame, will you make it?

You were touched

With the gold

Of a warm summer morning

A symphony born in the sun

They loved you like pagans

And followed your climb

The strongest

Most beautiful one

You've flown through the clouds

Where the air's very thin

And the word is out

All around town

They've lined up for miles

With their holiday grins

They love to see

A winner go down

Winner go down

Learning to lose

Lie in the gravel

Bathe in the blues

They'll run to the rooftops

Screaming the news

Winner go down

Winner go down

Oh oh oh oh, uh huh

And now the arena

Is quiet and darkened

The crowd is

Covered in smiles

They're holding their breath

At the thought of the slaughter

But you sure kept

'Em waiting awhile

They built up your legend

And danced in your light

'Til they longed

For the day to come 'round

When they'd see you break down

And cry like a baby

They love to see

A winner go down

Winner go down

Learning to lose

Lie in the gravel

Bathe in the blues

They'll run to the rooftops

Screaming the news

Winner go down

They like to see a winner go down

A winner go down

They love to see a winner go down

Fame, fame, fame, is it worth it?

Fame, fame, fame, can you take it?

Fame, fame, fame

The trial is over

The crowd has gone home

Yes, all their predictions came true

But even the thrill

Being there for the fall

It's just glory they borrowed from you

Winner go down

Learning to lose

Lie in the gravel

Bathe in the blues

They'll run to the rooftops

Screaming the news

Winner go down

They love to see a winner go down

Learning to lose

Lie in the gravel

Bathe in the blues

They'll run to the rooftops

Screaming the news

Winner go down

I hate to see a winner go down

Oh oh oh oh oh, uh huh
