Oh, the mountains have folded The bird is back in its cage I'm back tending bar at The Parlour Cafe Sweeping bottlecap ashtrays, repeat and repeat Patching holes in my sky where my stars used to be And I lose I lose Now the bar is full of ladies for the 2AM draw Who's getting who, Ms. Lonely or Mr. Loneliest-Of-All In the arms of a stranger, they all sink like a stone 'cause they're all scared of dying, or dying alone And they lose Oh, how they lose You take what you can to comfort your blues Cocaine or cowboys, it don't matter to you All your tenderness is broken 'cause you've been hard on your knees You've been swimming in sh**, girl, as deep as the sea And you lose Oh, how you lose And we lose Oh, how we lose Oh, the mountains have folded The bird is back in its cage I'm back tending bar at The Parlour Cafe
