Lyrics Soul Asylum

Soul Asylum

Success Is Not So Sweet

Blood on the sidewalk

Washing down the drain

'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

R: 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

R:

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

R:

Dreamfaker

Pocket-shaker

The numbers on a sheet

The Executions

The institution

Success is not so sweet

G F ×2

Success is not so sweet
