Knockout - David Myles

Referee starts the countdown

And I’m not even up on my knees

I can’t hear them yelling knockout

I can see them packing up to leave

Then I look to my corner

And there’s nobody there

There’s nobody there

There’s nobody there

And I can’t get up

And I can’t get up

And I can’t get up

And I can’t get up

Don’t remember ever being laid so low

Don’t remember ever feeling so ashamed

My head is hanging and I’m reaching for the ropes

Will this be the way it ends

Then I look to my corner

And there’s somebody there

There’s somebody there

There’s somebody there

They’re saying

Gotta get up

Gotta get up

Gotta get up

Gotta get up

Gotta get up

Gotta get up

Referee’s almost finished

Now he’s staring me right in the eyes

He asks me do I feel alright

Well I nod my head to tell him

«He's back!»

the crowd is yelling

Then I look to my corner

I see everybody there

I see everybody there

I see everybody there

They’re saying

He’s standing up, he’s standing up, he’s standing up

He’s standing up, he’s standing up, he’s standing up

He’s standing up, he’s standing up, he’s standing up

I’m standing up, I’m standing up, I’m standing up
