[Verse 1:]
Drag your finger down the long list
Pass the rosenthals and blankets
You hear the footsteps coming down the hall
Bronze and silver medals hung on the wall
And the punches thrown in the air
And some punches, if no one is standing there
And the lighter finally comes
Until
Cause you won
But you lost
A thousand times before
It wasn't over
And sometimes
It seems there is no explanation
It's just because
[Chorus:]
You could be a champion
Left, uppercut
If only for the night
[Verse 2:]
Fell faceless over the pavement
Above the two story house, you've taken flight
Written words of Elizabeth plan
6 o'clock
It's half past
Live like Wallace and his women
She had champagne for us
As dreamers do
I did believe
There will be consequences for my foolish
Put the tape in the VCR
Go to channel 3
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Fell faceless over the pavement
Above the two story house, you've taken flight
Was it William Duke of Normandy
Fought his last fight, before nightfall
Advancing armies from the left and right
They lit the cannons, but didn't fire
They didn't fire
But you lost, a thousand times before
It wasn't over
[Outro:]
I know sometimes, It seems there is no explanation
It just because
Champion [repeat]
