Idlewild › Lyrics › Mistake Pageant

I couldn't stand up, looking up at the faded party
I couldn't stand up, looking up at a faded party

It was a mistake pageant
It was a mistake from the start
This is a mistake pageant
But it's unsuitable to laugh like the others

Couldn't stand up, looking up I'm at a faded party
I couldn't stand up, looking up at a famous party

It was a mistake pageant
It was a mistake from the start
This is a mistake pageant
And I don't understand the way that you're living

'Cause you've had bad luck
'Cause you've had bad luck
'Cause you've had bad luck
And I know what it feels like to have bad luck

You can't open your eyes
You can't open your eyes
It's vain, or is it just fame?

It was a mistake pageant
It was a mistake from the start
This is a mistake pageant
And I don't understand this way that you're living

'Cause you've had bad luck
'Cause you've had bad luck
'Cause you've had bad luck
And I know what it feels like to have bad luck

Hope that this won't bring you down
These people are obscured by frowns
This won`t bring you down
These people, frown

'Cause you've had bad luck
'Cause you've had bad luck
'Cause you've had bad luck
And I know what it feels like to have bad luck

'Cause you've had bad luck
'Cause you've had bad luck
'Cause you've had bad luck
And I know what it feels like to have bad luck
