Lisa Miskovsky – Acceptable Losses lyrics

Main street's empty in the evening chill
From courthouse tower to griffin mill
Small signs of winter come creeping down the hills

I saw your shadow on Jackson St.
Where the zombie-eyed kids and the speed-queens meet
It's been a long time running thorugh my veins this long lost dream

And I tear it apart and burn it all down 'couse I have to
God gave me permission to do what it takes to find you

All the friends I betrayed all the enemies made in the process
We've all done the same we're just carrying different crosses
I'm feeling no pain baby - it's acceptable losses

This place got dark in the year's that passed
The store-fronts blown I guess nothing lasts
The fighting at the bars still draw wired vengeful crowds

I fallowed our trail down to Rosewood Park
As the shadows grow tall and the stars come out
Were the backseat lovers used to park their daddy's car

And I tear it apart and burn it all down 'couse I have to
Made a deal with a man at the crossroads who knew where to find you

All the friends I betrayed all the enemies made in the process
Our pain feels the same we're just carrying different crosses
It's all in the game baby - it's acceptable losses

They found your car own at Suicide Brigde
Where the Johnson twins became newsflash kids
But I know you so much better don't believe you'd call it quits

Now I got an old address and I'm waiting there
In the first light of morning at the fire stairs
I can hear someone's soming and suddenly I'm scared

Couse you ripped me appart and I ran for my life couse I had to
My heart won't stop bleeding and I'm no longer sure if I want it to

All the friends I betrayed all the enemies made in the process
They're all going down in a accounts of acceptable losses
It's all in the game baby - it's acceptable losses
