Once upon a time it was easy Everything kind of fell into place Now this feeling won't leave me We lost the power and we lost the pace It's staring straight between the eyes Something isn't right The harder we try the more we realise Something isn't right So bittersweet, this whole thing, so bitter sweet Caught in this struggle for power Where only blood ever tastes sweet Everything else is so sour The numbing failures and defeats The loner's not a western hero With nerves of steel and heart of gold But here alone in the disco - icy cold But there's always another morning We're never dead till the last breath So bittersweet, this whole thing, so bitter sweet
