lyrics:

well the full moon, it is bright
but it’s not so bright tonight
from this point on, it only gets darker still

lost my visions in the sky,
my ideals on the battle line
and all my good times on melancholy hill

people come and go, what do you know
what else can you do?
sometimes you try to take on the whole world
and sometimes the world takes you

i lost my lover, my light, my way home tonight
the one i call my best friend
i lost my head in the clouds,
and my heart down the river bend

and darling, if you think that i couldn’t lose you too
well you better think twice again
i got my bachelor’s in losing, master’s in nothing
mm-hmm

lost my wallet last week on misery street
but i always come up second best
to the homeless, the hungry, the broke down and beat
and the drug addicts missing their legs

oh i look up to them, no tell-a-vision schemes
no games, no contests to win
in my dreams the masters of nothing all join sides
to kickstart this world again

this one’s for you!
who got nothing to live for and even less to say
this one’s for you! with the thousand yard stare
and the blues that just won’t go away
this one’s for you! just scraping on through
the underside every day
this one’s for you! and i hope that you find your way

i lost my lover, my light, my way home tonight
the one I call my best friend
and i lost my head in the clouds,
and my heart down the river bend

and darling, if you think that I couldn’t lose you too
well you better think twice again
i got my bachelor’s in losing, master’s in nothing

i lost my heaven, my hell in the old wishing well
and it’s dried up and empty again
i lost my head in the clouds, and my heart down the river bend
and darling, if you think that i couldn’t lose you too
well, you better think twice my friend
i got my bachelor’s in losing, master’s in nothing
i got my bachelor’s in losing, master’s in…

who cares if you aren’t doing what you’re supposed to do
as long as you are doing something true
that’s why i write as many songs about love as i like
that’s why i make music is the thing
the devil wants to take away from you
just have to keep on singing through
and through the end i’m here for you friend
i’ll sing for you (i’ll sing for you)
i’ll sing for you (i’ll sing for you)
