winner go down
barry manilow
a symphony born in the sun
they loved you like pagans
you've flown to the clouds
where the air's very thin
they've lined up for miles
they'll run to the rooftops
the crowd is covered in smiles
they're holding their breath
at the thought of the slaughter
but you sure kept 'em waiting awhile
they built up your legend
for the day to come 'round
when they'd see you break down
they love to see a winner go down
they'll run to the rooftops
all their predictions came true
it's just glory they borrowed from you
they'll run to the rooftops
they love to see a winner go down
they'll run to the rooftops
i hate to see a winner go down
