lyrics

She had a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Should have seen the warning sign
If I don’t quit her, hell, I just might die. Or in the least, I’ll lose my mind
Stern talks to myself in the mirror. Pointing in my own face -
You gotta pack it up, you gotta start again
Fed up with guessing who’s an enemy or friend
You gotta pack it up, take it on the chin
Walk away from games you’ll only lose
You gotta concentrate on matches you can win
Spirit abrasions, soul lacerations. I can’t take another day
And it’s not like I won’t have invitations. If I just change my state of play
Well, it doesn’t matter how you play the game. It’s whether you win or lose!
Ya gotta pack it up, and just walk away
Sometimes your dreams should never meet the dawning day
You gotta pack it up, you gotta just move on
Pack your suitcase, start the engine
Don’t forget to blast that rock n’ roll song
It doesn’t matter how you play the game
It’s whether you win or lose - and sometimes you can’t choose!
You gotta pack it up, leave Beacontown
Grab your your coat, your boots, your keys, your hat
and leave before the old full moon goes down....
