The setting sun

I tease it to forget when you have seen it all before
I will be going through the motions as I lead you at the bar
You can get drinks and I will bring this city to its knees
I've got the answers up my sleeve

And I'll go toe to toe with your success
Trading blow for blow
I will lose one hope
Withering but beautiful career

For this exercise in patience
For this glorious mess
Take it back to beginning
Tired of color to demise

Give us something to believe in
Give us something we can trust
I will be dressed for the occasion
All I touch will turn to dust

And it isn't quite the same way
You've seen how the trick is done
You can feed me to the masses
It this cold thing sets it off

To fill those spaces in-between
You can wave and wait to see
But there is no waste for the memory
And there's no room for the weak

And I'll go toe to toe with your success
Trading blow for blow
I will lose one hope
Withering but beautiful career

For this exercise in me
For this glorious mess
Take it back to the beginning
Tie our colors to the mast

And I'll go toe to toe with your success
Trading blow for blow
I will lose one hope
Withering but beautiful career

For this exercise in patience
For this glorious mess
Take it back to go away
Tired of color to demise
