All the screens are filled with heroes and losers

But the sky's still filled with stars

And this junky palace might be on fire
Am D
Til the winners lose desire
C D C D
Let it go, let it go

Heading past the watermark, heading for the hills

Heading for the edge of time
Em Am D G D D
Heading for the thrills of the golden age
