Lyrics
[Intro]
Dim lights, dim hopes,
Wading through the jokes life wrote.
[Verse 1]
We’re the lucky ones, they say,
Miserable in our ordinary play.
Dance with sorrow, flirt with pain,
Ordinary lives, extraordinary disdain.
[Chorus]
Here’s to the miserable, clinking glasses high,
Underneath this stormy sky.
Love’s a battle, life’s a war,
We’re all soldiers, what are we fighting for?
[Verse 2]
Stepped into love, or a landmine?
Hard to tell when you’re toeing the line.
The horrible beckons, with its silent roar,
Hold tight to misery, who could ask for more?
[Bridge]
Raise a toast to the blind, the lost,
To the lovers who paid the cost.
Horrible or miserable, take your pick,
Life spins the wheel, click, click, click.
[Chorus]
Here’s to the miserable, clinking glasses high,
Underneath this stormy sky.
Love’s a battle, life’s a war,
We’re all soldiers, what are we fighting for?
[Outro]
So we laugh, and we cry,
In the comedy beneath this sky.
Lucky to be miserable, or so they say,
In the grand tragicomedy we play.
[Chorus]
Here’s to the miserable, clinking glasses high,
Underneath this stormy sky.
Love’s a battle, life’s a war,
We’re all soldiers, what are we fighting for?
[Outro]
So we laugh, and we cry,
In the comedy beneath this sky.
Lucky to be miserable, or so they say,
In the grand tragicomedy we play.
[Forte Fortissimo]
[Chorus]
Here’s to the miserable, clinking glasses high, (oo-aah)
Underneath this stormy sky. (aah, aah)
Love’s a battle, life’s a war, (ooh yeah)
We’re all soldiers, what are we fighting for? (what for?)
[Chorus]
Here’s to the miserable, clinking glasses high, (aah, you know it)
Underneath this stormy sky. (aah, aah yeah yeah)
Love’s a battle, life’s a war, (ooh yeah it is)
We’re all soldiers, what are we fighting for? (what for, what for?)
[Outro]
What for?
What for?
What for...
[Angelic Choir Arrives]
[Chorus]
Here’s to the miserable, clinking glasses high,
Underneath this stormy sky.
Love’s a battle, life’s a war,
We’re all soldiers, what are we fighting for?
[Outro]
So we laugh, and we cry,
In the comedy beneath this sky.
Lucky to be miserable, or so they say,
In the grand tragicomedy we play.
[Full-on with Band and Choir]
[Chorus]
Here’s to the miserable, clinking glasses high,
Underneath this stormy sky.
Love’s a battle, life’s a war,
We’re all soldiers, what are we fighting for?
[Chorus]
Here’s to the miserable, clinking glasses high,
Underneath this stormy sky.
Love’s a battle, life’s a war,
We’re all soldiers, what are we fighting for?
[Outro]
So we laugh, and we cry,
In the comedy beneath this sky.
Lucky to be miserable, or so they say,
In the grand tragicomedy we play.
[Outro]
So we laugh, and we cry,
In the comedy beneath this sky.
Lucky to be miserable, or so they say,
In the grand tragicomedy we play.
[Outro]
In the comedy beneath this sky.
Lucky to be miserable, or so they say,
In the grand tragicomedy we play.
