The wolf by the ears. The tiger by the tail. The sinking realization that this time you're gonna failure is a friend. Who talks behind your back. Puts the bit between your teeth.
Gonna choose sunlight. Gonna drink wine. Bound to win a few fights, before my time. Gonna make love now. Ain't the future bright. Gonna be the last man standing tonight.
You could tell a lot by the way that a man learns to win. You could tell a lot by the way that he'll lose. While it's easy to concern yourself with roosters and dogs.
