Dirty Projectors - Winner Take Nothing lyrics

I’m living at the Ace You’re sleeping late in our apartment It’s just been 808s for the eight days since our restart went heartbreak I am afraid, I’ve been all in on works and not grace Thought we’d invest and save But it’s all rigged, a gamble and a waste Winner take nothing Fighting we can only lose Winner take nothing k**ing me and k**ing you ‘Cause you and me are the same Now I’m shining like tears in the rain And you’re shining like fifteen of fame, babe But our diamonds blooded Nickel dull and so opaque No trophy, no cake Winner take nothing I want it all and I want it more Baby, I wanted our dream And when you’re no longer asleep We’ll go to Five Leaves I built my life around our love to ground your dreamworld I held so tight But I never could give you enough Winner take nothing Fighting we can only lose Winner take nothing k**ing me and k**ing you ‘Cause you and me are the same Now I’m shining like tears in the rain And you’re shining like fifteen of fame, babe But our diamonds blooded Nickel dull and so opaque No trophy, no cake Winner take nothing Winner take Nothing Winner take Nothing Winner take We spent all those years in McCarren Watching the green leaves turn brown again We walked on Manhattan Ave. while the Dollar Tree turned New American And as much as I’d like to say we both won As much as I’d like to say I’m grateful for the experience That we’ve grown together and bettered each other And built the city with one another The truth is you’d sell out the waterfront for condos and malls I’d throw the dice with the rest of ’em Down on Broad Street and Wall This has turned me against myself In losing you, I lost myself That’s the why the winner takes nothing else Winner take nothing Fighting we can only lose Winner take nothing k**ing me and k**ing you ‘Cause you and me are the same Now I’m shining like tears in the rain And you’re shining like fifteen of fame, babe But our diamonds blooded Nickel dull and so opaque No trophy, no cake Winner take Nothing Fighting we can only lose Winner take Nothing Winner take Nothing k**ing me and k**ing you Winner take Nothing Winner take Nothing Now I’m shining like tears in the rain Winner take Nothing And you’re shining like fifteen of fame, babe Winner take Nothing Nickel dull and so opaque Winner take Nothing Winner take nothing
