well i'm a desolate winner   and i'm looking for a place to go      i've got no wind and no sails   and no good intentions anymore      i'll get no heaven in return for this empy shell   and when i get across the river   there'll be no one waiting down on the shore      i could have told you about my life   i could have sung about what was mine      but now i never want to talk hell   i roll my red eyes back all the time      i'll get no heaven in return for this empty shell   and when i get across the river   there'll be no one waiting down on the shore      oh   i know    now   this world is not for me      i used to come alive easy   i used to come alive all the time      now i'm on a downbound train   riding on the central line      i'll get no heaven in return for this empty shell   and when i get across the river   there'll be no one waiting down on the shore      oh   i know   now   this world is not for me
