Lyrics Dirty Projectors

Dirty Projectors

Winner Take Nothing

I'm living at the Ace

You're sleeping late in our apartment

It's just been 808s for the eight days since our restart went heartbreak

I am afraid, I've been all in on works and not grace

Thought we'd invest and save

But it's all rigged, a gamble and a waste

Winner take nothing

Fighting we can only lose

Winner take nothing

Killing me and killing you

'Cause you and me are the same

Now I'm shining like tears in the rain

And you're shining like fifteen of fame, babe

But our diamonds blooded

Nickel dull and so opaque

No trophy, no cake

Winner take nothing

I want it all and I want it more

Baby, I wanted our dream

And when you're no longer asleep

We'll go to Five Leaves

I built my life around our love to ground your dreamworld

I held so tight

But I never could give you enough

Winner take nothing

Fighting we can only lose

Winner take nothing

Killing me and killing you

'Cause you and me are the same

Now I'm shining like tears in the rain

And you're shining like fifteen of fame, babe

But our diamonds blooded

Nickel dull and so opaque

No trophy, no cake

Winner take nothing

Winner take

Nothing

Winner take

Nothing

Winner take

We spent all those years in McCarren

Watching the green leaves turn brown again

We walked on Manhattan Ave. while the Dollar Tree turned New American

And as much as I'd like to say we both won

As much as I'd like to say I'm grateful for the experience

That we've grown together and bettered each other

And built the city with one another

The truth is you'd sell out the waterfront for condos and malls

I'd throw the dice with the rest of 'em

Down on Broad Street and Wall

This has turned me against myself

In losing you, I lost myself

That's the why the winner takes nothing else

Winner take nothing

Fighting we can only lose

Winner take nothing

Killing me and killing you

'Cause you and me are the same

Now I'm shining like tears in the rain

And you're shining like fifteen of fame, babe

But our diamonds blooded

Nickel dull and so opaque

No trophy, no cake

Winner take

Nothing

Fighting we can only lose

Winner take

Nothing

Winner take

Nothing

Killing me and killing you

Winner take

Nothing

Winner take

Nothing

Now I'm shining like tears in the rain

Winner take

Nothing

And you're shining like fifteen of fame, babe

Winner take

Nothing

Nickel dull and so opaque

Winner take

Nothing

Winner take nothing
