Idlewild In Competition For The Worst Time Lyrics

In Competition For The Worst Time Lyrics

In competition for the worst first line I could use

in 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 four or five 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
