Hey Winner
Lolita Pop Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey there winner, won't you please come down to the underground and tell me how it feels.
Here it's winter, blizzard freeze me to the bone
and the sunshines dryer everbee

Say you can, say you will
Be my friend and stay until
sunbeams chase away the darkness

hey there stranger, please sit down and sing a song about the word I know is there
It's so strange here, I mean it's funny how the fun things always seems to disappear

Say you can, say you will
Be my friend and stay until
sunbeams chase away the darkness

Say the sun will always beat the darkness
Say the sun will always beat the darkness
Say the sun will always beat the darkness

I want to know...

Sunbeams chase away the darkness
Sunbeams chase away the darkness
Sunbeams chase away the darkness

I want to know...
