Idlewild Lyrics
"In Competition for the Worst Time"

In competition for the worst first line I could use
Conversation for the first time
Find salvation and breathe in each breath that I choose
In competition for the worst time
Brooklyn lies bleeding in the afternoon
Always 4 to 5 steps from misfortune
To drown out moments of revelation
In competition for the worst time

I know my name but I can't deny
I talk in silence like I'm used to

Graduation fits the worst time I could use
Confidence for the first time
Take the money and the drink you are going to refuse
In competition for the worst time
Glasgow lies bleeding in the afternoon
A practical response to good fortune
I dream my moments of revelation
In competition for the worst time

And though I know my name
I still can't deny
I talk in silence like I'm used to
No matter how hard I try
I talk in silence like I'm used to
