Con of the Century Songtext
von Maple & Rye

You said I was the only one
Who crossed your mind
When you ever had
Too much to drink

Turns out I was the only one
You could crush with your mind
I think I had too much to think
I need a drink now

The stains on my shirt won′t tell you lies
(They are what I'm made of)
I don′t mind
Going blind
I'll still see all
That's now be...

...hind
C′est la vie mon amour
I′ve heard it all before
It's you I adore


I′ve been around this town
A thousand times
But I'm yet to find any cover

The curb is my friend now
The bottle′s my lover
How will I ever
Turn this shit over

You clipped my wings
So I can't fly
(I′m stuck right here on the bottom)
Heal my wounds
And I'll still fray
Cus I'll remember any...

...way
C′est la vie mon amour
I′ve heard it all before
It's you I adore


I thought it was love but it was all
An elaborate lie
How could I be so naive
To fall for the con
Of the century
Ain′t it all a tragedy?

You said I was the only one
Who crossed your mind
When you ever had
Too much to drink
Turns out I was the only one
You could crush with your mind
Think I had too much to think I need a drink
And I'm too naive, I′m so naive
To fall, to fall, to fall for the con
Of the century
