Success Story歌詞

Jimmy Eat World - Big Casino
製作
Before this world starts up again
It's me and night
We wait for the sun
The kids and drunks head back inside
Well there's lots of smart ideas
in books I never read
When the girls come talk to me
I wish to hell I had
Get up, get up!
Turn my ignition
Get up, get up!
Fire up the system
Play my little part in something big
I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say all the salt in the world
couldn't melt that ice
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success story
And they'll say lord give me the chance
to shake that hand
They'll say...
Back when I was younger
I was someone you'd have liked
Got an old guitar I've had for years
I'd let you buy
And I'll tell you something else
That you ain't died enough to know
There's still some living left
when your prime comes and goes
Get up, get up!
Dance on the ceiling!
Get up, get up!
Boy, you must be dreaming!
Rock on young savior
Don't get up your hopes
I accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say all the salt in the world
couldn't melt that ice
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success story
And they'll say lord give me the chance
to shake that hand
I have one last wish
And it's from the heart
Just let me down
Just let me down easy
I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say all the salt in the world
couldn't melt that ice
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success story
And they'll say lord give me a chance
to shake his hand
They'll say...
