Parlour Cafe Lyrics - Singles - Running Red Lights

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 shit, 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
