You can lie to yourself, you can lie to the world   You can lie to the one you call your girl   You can humble yourself to the hearts that you stole   Wondering who's gonna love you when you grow old?       With a fistful of courage and a heart full of rage   I realized I'd locked myself in a cage   I'll be the one standing there with the watery eyes   I'll be the fool in the mirror asking you whyasking why      When I got to the end of my dirty rainbow   And I found that there was no pot of gold   Well, I learned that I was empty and not quite as strong   For I had robbed my heart and cheated my soul      Look for the one with the watery eyes   I'll be the fool in the mirror asking you why   Cursing lovers in a warm tender embrace   Scoffing at the world and the whole human race      Chorus:   You can run, you can hide   You can feed your foolish pride   You can use and abuse   In the end you'll always loseat the game      Chorus:   You can run, you can hide   You can feed your foolish pride   With the hearts that you stole   And an empty pot of gold   And the lover's warm embrace   And the whole damned human race   You can use and abuse   In the end you'll always loseat the game      "for I cheated myself at solitaire."
