lyrics

Machine ate my quarter, trials all are disorder,
Russian red lines way out to the border,
Trouble sometimes feels made to order,
And everywhere I seem to be.

A thousand faces all round like aces,
Stumble drunk and down in awful places,
Feelings are fine when they leave no traces,
Which is never, like, basically.

Been up to the top and dropped and hey! - Life stopped,
Even Amy's eyes finally got their spots,
Stop for what? Nothing just two fat cops,
Which means about nothing to me.

The deck's all stacked and the system's fucked,
You can never go back but don't ever give up.
Keep that fire inside and steady your stride,
You got much, so more to be.

Nothing's left now but this chip on my shoulder,
Weekend down and one more older,
I've loved and lost and tossed right over,
So sing a prayer for me.

I can barely hear now the words I know you once spoke,
Lessons on passed legends like jokes,
Get away from me now before you see I'm all broke,
Nothing but ribs and holes inside.

Another swing, yet another miss.
Everything in this whole world's wrong.
