Boxing — текст песни (ben folds five)

Howard, the strangest thing
Has happened lately
When I take a good swing
And all my dreams
They pivot and slip
I drop my fists and they`re back
Laughing Howard
My intention`s become not to lose what I`ve won
Ambition has given way to desperation and I
Lost the fight from my eyes

(chorus):
Boxing`s been good to me, Howard
Now I`m old, you`re growing old
The whole time we knew
In a couple of years I`d be through
Has boxing been good to you?

Howard, I confess I`m scared and lonely and tired
They seem to think I`m made of clay
Another day, not cut out for this
I just want to say, I say

(chorus)

Well sometimes I punch myself as hard as I can
Yelling nobody cares hoping someone will tell me how
Wrong I am

(chorus)

Has boxing been good
Has boxing been good to you?
