verse 1
Happy Birthday Black song to my cancerous blood
Will you please feed me my tube
So many oceans to swim but I lost my will to swim
Hope is big, but they're always gonna win
Now I felt a cool breeze on my invalid knees
It reminded me of our kiss in the summer
Vicarious like my grandmothers kiss at Christmas
Hope is big, but they're always gonna win
Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
Yeah, they're always gonna win
Bridge
verse 2
And all the ashes were red, the fire trucks lost in it
Tombstone flickered on the Fourth of July
Janitor keys jingle jangle the loneliest tune
Hope is big but we're always gonna lose
Now you're up and you're out of your impervious doubt
And your love, it won't bring us the truth
And I hear rats in moonlight tangled up in our fight
Hope is big but they're always gonna win
Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
Yeah they're always gonna win
Solo
Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
Yeah they're always gonna win
