Murray McLauchlan - Met You At The Bottom lyrics

I watched your lightnin' matches at you table The white haze fired up your brain And you laughed like hell at somethin' nobody else could see And you weren't home to explain You weren't home to explain Everybody loves a loser They want to see him pay his dues Everybody loves a loser But they don't want him to stand in his shoes They don't want him to stand in his shoes I watched you heart subsiding The angels in you couldn't stand the pace Stone statues with dark faces now stood in their place Now stood in their place Everybody loves a loser They want to see him pay his dues Everybody loves a loser But they don't want him to stand in his shoes They don't want him to stand in his shoes They found you on the ground one morning Dead soldier laying by your side And wondered who it was they tried to kid When they said you almost died When they said you almost died
