Winning, with Flowers

from Pride of the Valley by Martin Rivas

/

lyrics

Jockey silks presented, colors pressed and recommended
Sharpened heels and ties and handwriting
The Mutuel pool's awaited, combinations anticipated
In the daily number happening

Winning, with flowers

And it won't be long 'til the crowd is cheering
And the record holds, but you feel it nearing
Don't be shy, you'll take it anyway that they'll give it
Come around

The grass is trimmed, the lines are drawn, the diamond's cut, created
Sharpened cleats and bleached white gathering
Angels pulling favors, and they're paid
They're paying angels
Drop you down right where you pay to be

Winning, with flowers

It's a bitter taste, but it's expensive
Eat it
It isn't natural, someone else conceived it
Don't be shy, you'll take it
Don't pretend that you hate it
Come around, come around, come around

Come around

I'll catch you later
I'll catch you later
And when you're gone
I'll won't miss you, there's too much I'm working on

Success is too elusive
Results are too conclusive to ignore
I won't miss you, there's too much I'm working for

You missed the presentation, 'cause you had the realization
That the gains are only temporary
Your hobby's an addiction, it's a family affliction
Face-to-crotch with your worst enemy

Winning, with flowers

Come around

I'll catch you later
I'll catch you later
And when you're gone
I'll won't miss you, there's too much I'm working on

Success is too elusive
Results are too conclusive to ignore
I won't miss you, there's too much I'm working for
