Baltimore's slice of progressive soul

Soar Loser Lyrics

V1

I’m not exactly commercial, this doesn’t feel like rehearsal

The movements I make, the time that it takes, it seems like reversal

I’m feeling tall and important, really Napoleon short, and

I’ve got a feeling I’m not alone, so just hold the phone, pick up the pieces while I can

Oh I thought I knew where and when and why, but I was calling an opera a lullaby

They say you’ve gotta believe and try, you know what?

CH

We can’t all fly…

V2

I’m in a serious pickle, better if I were just fickle

I’ve got this infernal hope, no joke, just cannot cope with middle

See there’s this pie in the sky and… just gotta rent me a giant

To reach up, grab me a piece oh please won’t someone talk me down

Oh I thought I knew where and when and who, but I was calling an ostrich a kangaroo

They say you’ve gotta believe and do.  Here’s my thought:

CH

It’s not quite true… It’s got me feelin’ blue

BR

Told you so and “better luck next time” truth be told there’s no reason or rhyme

Round pegs in square holes just don’t go – oh no they don’t

Maybe it’s not the right angle, maybe it’s sink or swim

Maybe you’ve got to swim in the sky – maybe that’s how you win

Maybe I’ve got the wrong angle, maybe it’s sink or swim

Maybe I’ll learn to swim in the sky – it’s not that high

Oh I thought I knew how and when and what, but I was calling a lemon a coconut

Oh I thought I knew how and where and when,

oh won’t someone just break out those violins

They say don’t stop believin’ but in what?

CH

It might give you wings,  If you find the true things

Still we can’t all fly, We just can’t all fly

But we’ve got to try,  We’ve gotta try
