A Duty-Dance with Death Letra

Frankly disappointed if that’s your best shot
So if your best intentions get you honourable mention
Then it might be time to re-evaluate
But if you think it’s worth it, or perhaps you deserve it
Take a look at your smile because it’s fading away

“settling” is a dirty word
But second place is the first place for losin’ if you prefer.
Baby, you can’t be sure
And you think what you’ve got is the best
I think that you can do better
I think that you can do better

I apologize if I was out of line with anything I said (oh-oh)
Well no, not really
But I sympathize with the lovey-dovey bullshit going round around around around right round in your head
And I got some knowledge that even with spit and polish any diamond in the rough still cuts like a fucking diamond
And right now you don’t need it. You’ll be back when you’re bleedin’. And I said, I’ll say again

I’m sick of watching do okay
And pretending that it’s so great
If you’re showing off your best play
I’ve got one thing to say (oooooh-ooooh, oooh-oooh, ah ahhh)

“settling” is a dirty word
But second place is the first place for losin’ if you prefer.
Darlin’, you can’t be sure
And you think what you’ve got is the best
I think that you can do better
