Parlour Cafe Lyrics

Oh, the mountains have folded

The bird is back in it's 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 it's cage

I'm back tending bar at The Parlour Cafe
