You got the consolation prize,
For having to survive,
Having to survive.
Every night, following the end,
Having to survive,
And now you are just friends.
CHORUS:
People insisted on telling you,
What a great couple you had been
They insisted on telling you over again.
You walked through the wind,
You walked, you did.
With thoughts of Baby seeing you again.
You walked through the wind,
Through the mighty wind,
And now you're just plain tired again
CHORUS
(Look out, look out!)
You got the consolation prize,
For having to survive,
Having to survive.
Every night, following the end,
Having to survive,
And now you are just friends.
People insisted on telling you,
What a great couple you had been
They insisted on telling you over,
And over and over again.
