Duke of Sorrow

A ballad of a lonely night, the artist and the ache
 A broken girl, a desperate boy
 The love we give is the love we take
 Lovers in the dark, away from angry eyes that stare
 Battle songs from nowhere bars
 And lonely hearts that go nowhere
 ♪
 Some say the art of life is in the smile that you wear
 When you remember every line to every song that kept you here
 Like flowers from the grave and promises too vain to keep
 To be your brother's keeper, with the song that you seek
 I've been wrong and I've been right
 I've been raising hell all night
 Been alone in quiet places with a bottle and song
 I've been here and I've been there
 I've been wasted everywhere
 I walked a mile just to know what it was like
 To be the duke of sorrow
 ♪
 Making out in lonely parks
 Ditching school to skate that pool
 A poor boy and a hungry band too desperate to be cool
 Everybody stated out, some with more, some without
 And it's never what you had
 It's everything you could do without
 I've been wrong and I've been right
 I've been raising hell all night
 Been alone in quiet places with a bottle and song
 I've been here and I've been there
 I've been wasted everywhere
 I walked a mile just to know what it was like
 To be the duke of sorrow
 ♪
 And I've been wrong and I've been right
 I've been raising hell all night
 Been alone in quiet places with a bottle and song
 I've been here and I've been there
 I've been wasted everywhere
 I walked a mile just to know what it was like
 To be the duke of sorrow
