Lyrics
Victory
Lyrics and Music by Woody Russell / ©℗ 2015, Woody Russell, Cats Up The Street Music, ASCAP
Dark sky, heavy clouds building in my head
An old ghost lingering all too near
Oh, to be cut free from the burdens of second guessing
A rare one, a lucky dog chasing his tail in his own atmosphere
It’s a delicate framework
Deep mystery of the innermost art
Architecture to keep out the enemy
While, inside, the sabotage starts
So c’mon love, do it
Storm my gate
Burn right through it
C’mon love, declare your victory
Boyish girls, a table over, arm wrestle and strut
Café, rainy day, hot coffee in my cup
Too bad, I’m too broke for the second hand store, fake Van Gogh
But I did buy some sunflowers trying to cheer myself up
It’s a delicate framework
Deep mystery of the innermost art
Architecture to keep out the enemy
While, inside, the sabotage starts
So c’mon love, do it
Storm my gate
Burn right through it
C’mon love, declare your victory
C’mon love
Declare your victory
