"The Man That Came in Second" Copyright 2002 A song written and performed by Cory Capron. June 14th, 2002 When time's shoes wear out When our kisses turn cold We say our goodbyes and farewells Afraid of getting old Well I've gotten too used, to you and your ways Now I'm tripping over all the lonely days I've got a mountain of praise, for you waiting back home... Don't know how good you had it Till it leaves you all alone When the man who came in second Finds that he's always last Because his mind's preoccupied With failures of past A hundred lucky people, in a crooked casino find You can't ever be that lucky all of the time Drinking the poison wine, throwing the toupee off its dome... Don't know how good you had it Till it leaves you all alone (Bridge) When the singers voice is silenced When the opera house burns down And they cut off Wolfgang's fingers And feed them to the dogs in town And you wake up with out ears Or an identity that matters That's when you listen to the music When your life is all in tatters When you don't have a leg to stand on And you just feel like dancing You'll throw stones at all the children Around outside prancing When the rain once hard, is not around at all You're haunted by the ghosts of the strip mall Cause now you can't stand tall, your legs are beaten to the bone... Don't know how good you had it Till it leaves you all alone When the wind's so strong And it's so hard to fly through When your older and you say If only then I knew Oh how close you were, to your desired prize You'll cast it all aside as twisted lies All will hear your cries, when you put the sword back in the stone... Don't know how good you had it Till it leaves you all alone Don't know how good you had it Till it leaves you all alone"The Man That Came in Second" IS COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL AND MAY NOT BE DOWNLOADED, TRANSMITTED, PRINTED OR PERFORMED WITHOUT THE EXPRESS PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR
