Got To Lose

Sunday morn has a-broken

Like a whip on my back

And we still have not spoken

Since the day that I left

You got to lose love if you want to find love

You got to lose, you got to lose

You got to lose, you got to lose

Train pulled into some kinda burned out town

I was aching like a half past dead

There was a man with a monocle eating pineapple outside

He offered me to trade his ride for head (what?)

How far a walk to town where a bar could be found?

I got just enough change for a drink

There was a rubbie with a bible and some bad news on the brink

He said, "It's not too far now I think"

We came down from the trees, singing

We came down from the trees

You got to lose love if you want to find love

(You got to lose, You got to lose)

You got to lose love if you want to find love

(You got to lose, You got to lose)

When darkness fell it held the rain like water in my shaking hand

With no one there to lead the walk

And so the night was getting dirty and I begged the lord for mercy

And He said, "Oh, so now you wanna talk?"

Found myself in a garden of Eden just as the sun began to rise

And we sipped red wine with our lips upon the vine

And our bodies got tangled in the night

We came down from the trees, singing

We came down from the trees

You got to lose love if you want to find love

(You got to lose, You got to lose)

You got to lose love if you want to find love

(You got to lose, You got to lose)

We came down from the trees, swinging from telephone lines

We came down from the trees, singing and telling lies

Like you got to lose love if you want to find love

You got to lose love if you want to find love

You got to lose love if you want to find love

You got to lose love if you want to find love

You got to lose, you got to lose

You got to lose, you got to lose

You got to lose, you got to lose

You got to lose, you got to lose
