"Winner Take All" lyrics

"Winner Take All"

Time is up, I don't know where you are
The sands run down, I can't see that far
Are you shot straight back into another star
Your mouth it moves, but the words don't come

You don't give it another thought
Little round peg in a big square slot
The strangest son in a big top coat
If you go that far then that's all she wrote

Win or lose, you've got the Berlin blues
Your back's to the wall
Winner, take all
Take all

I know the face, can you remember the name
You know the one with the silicon plan
The high step roller from the Argentine
The one they all called the 'Wolverine'
You kept your back to the wind and your tracks so clean

They all wanted to get to you (get to you)
They all wanted to know if it was true (it was true)
Were you standing in the shadows in old Kitzbuhl
Getting oh so high when you turned the screw
Could you feel us there, did you know that we knew

Win or lose, you've got the Berlin blues
Your back's to the wall
Winner, take all
They'll try to tell you that's all

I see a light, I can hear a voice as someone says
You're going home for good tonight
If you win to lose, got the Berlin blues
Your back's against the wall
Winner, take all
Take all
They'll try to tell you that's all
They'll try to tell you that's all

Winner, take all (all)
Winner, take all (all)
Winner, take all (all)
All, all
All, all, all
