Sympathy Vote Songtext
von The Flatliners

Yeah, can you feel how fast my heart′s beating?
I can't slow this thing down man
Oh, my mind it races but never wins, like the lesser twin
My friends must all know by now I′m spent
Like a bridesmaid alone in her skin
I know I'm not there in person, but I'm worth the long distance

And for all we know
You were a landslide bringing victory home
But the story goes
They had their hands tied to the sympathy vote

Can′t we all be just a bit fleeting?
What you say, what you′re believing in
Formulate a stance in your tiny little expert opinion
Then turn the page and wonder
When did we age so gracelessly?
Feel our fabric fade and pull apart thread by thread


And for all we know
You were a landslide bringing victory home
But the story goes
They had their hands tied to the sympathy vote

Yeah, can you feel how fast my heart's beating?
I can′t slow this thing down man
Oh, my mind it races

And for all we know
You were a landslide bringing victory home
But the story goes
They had their hands tied to the sympathy vote

My friends, they all know by now I'm spent
Like a bridesmaid alone in her skin
I know I′m not there in person, but I'm worth the long distance
Can you feel how fast my heart′s beating?
I can't slow this thing down man
Oh, my mind it races but it never wins
