Bad news is come to town
He's walking
    three feet off the ground
He's ordering another round.
Bound by his own ideas,
Lost, doesn't know
    where she is found.

Bad news is fighting mad
He went and lost
    the biggest prize
        he ever had
But a prizefighter
    can't be sad
When he smiles under
    golden lights and lamps
Taking daylight fights
    again and again.
