The Gambler

It is like before, i think i like them both,

i should close my eyes, become the racing horse,

sing to pay window in an awful line, so easy now,

i have won, go easy now, we're with everyone,

gamble with hurt and fun, i parlay my loss,

they both pour in strong

i think we'll end up, maybe waving this off,

you caught me winking at a crazy whore,

and laying with that lady in the yard

turn the sirens off, start the table talk,

and you go from one to the next divorce,

we're an even match, hedge your bets,

recall the end, that's all the end is,

they shoot the racing horse, shoot the racing horse,

cash in your bets and fly, move east, divorce,

still at the pay window, there's that awful line

and if we end up, maybe just waving this off,

i'll go drinking at the crazy horse, because

i never know my baby anymore

turn the sirens off, turn the sirens off and you go

from one, to the next divorce, we're an

even match, hedge your bets, recall the end, all the rest

and i can't even react, countries slide into the sea,

it's a grave at all four walls,

this here is all you hear, cities and homes ready

for the greatest plunge, but if i could be

left out, or carried on without, it'd get so queer

livin in this doubt, i'll disappear, cover

up your ears, that's the last you'll hear of me, i am gone.
