The Walkmen - We Can't Be Beat Lyrics

I was the Duke of Earl
The Duke of Earl
But it couldn't last
I was the Pony Express
But I ran out of gas
Oh golden dreams
Golden dreams, all lose their glow,
I don't need perfection, I love the whole
Oh give me a life, that needs correction
Nobody loves, loves perfection
Loneliness, loneliness will run you through
All the kids are laughing, I'm laughing too, oh

If you want my eyes, take my eyes, they're always true
If you want my heart, take my heart, it's right here for you
It's been so long, been so long, but I made it through
It's been so long, been so long, but I made it through
It's been so long

We'll never leave
We can't be beat
We can't be beat
We'll never leave
We can't be beat
The world is ours
We can't be beat
We can't be beat
We can't be beat
