Success Is Not So Sweet [Live at First Avenue, Minneapolis]

This one features Dan sitting

Blood on the sidewalk
Washing down the drain
Rushing 'round the crime scene
To hide behind the stain
Hide behind the pain

Blue-colored lady
Black eye behind the shades
It's funny how the players
They can't survive the game
I'll survive the game

Rule-maker, dream-taker
Numbers on a sheet
The execution, the institution
Success is not so sweet

Damaged for the first time
But who knew it'd be you?
And you could try to save me
And I'll try to save you
Try to save you

Deal-maker, heart-breaker
The numbers on a sheet
Execution, the strange delusion
Success is not so sweet
Success is not so sweet

You want a baby, I know you do
But I'll be your baby
And I'll take care of you
I'll take care of you

Widow-maker, heart-breaker
The blood runs down the street
Institution, con-confusion
Success is not so sweet

Deal-breaker, heart-breaker
The numbers on a sheet
Execution, the institution
Success is not so sweet
Success is not so sweet
Success is not so sweet
