CHEATING AT SOLITAIRE 

                                         
You can lie to yourself, you can lie to the world 
                                  
You can lie to the one you call your girl 
                                            
You can humble yourself to the hearts that you stole 
                                          
Wondering who's gonna love you when you grow old 

                               
With a fistful of courage and a heart full of rage 
                       
I realized I'd locked myself in a cage 
                                      
I'll be the one standing there with my watery eyes 
                                                    
I'll be the fool in the mirror asking you why...asking why 

When I got to the end of my dirty rainbow 
and I found that there was no pot of gold 
Well, I learned that I was empty and not quite as strong 
for I had robbed my heart and cheated my soul 

Look for the one with the watery eyes 
I'll be the fool in the mirror asking you why 
Cursing lovers in a warm tender embrace 
Scoffing at the world and the whole human race 

You can run, you can hide 
You can feed your foolish pride 
You can use and abuse 
In the end you'll always lose...at the game 

(Solo) 

You can run, you can hide 
You can feed your foolish pride 
with the hearts that you stole 
and an empty pot of gold 
and the lover's warm embrace 
and the whole damned human race 
You can use and abuse 
in the end you'll always lose...at the game 

                         
For I cheated myself at solitaire
