《The Easy Mark & The Old Maid》歌词

[00:00:00] The Easy Mark & The Old Maid - Bad Books

[00:00:00] Some men collapse at the racetrack

[00:00:04] Their wrong and beat up their eyes black

[00:00:08] Others wilt in casinos

[00:00:12] Roll dice and piss away speedboats

[00:00:16] Some dissolve into bar stools

[00:00:20] Scratched off in boxes and playoff pools

[00:00:24] I spent myself on a psychic

[00:00:28] I lost my way and a friend said she would find it

[00:00:33] Man we were wrong

[00:00:37] Man we were wrong

[00:00:42] I asked for the future

[00:00:44] She only sang me a song

[00:00:48] Some men they go make their own luck

[00:00:52] Grow fat from feeding on lame ducks

[00:00:56] The easy mark and the old maid

[00:01:00] The invalid and the ingrate

[00:01:04] Others wait for that high sign

[00:01:08] Some holy hoax in the tree-line

[00:01:12] Me I'm counting my canned food

[00:01:16] Bunkered down waiting out our slingshot moods

[00:01:21] But what if I'm wrong

[00:01:25] What if I'm wrong

[00:01:30] I'll open my doors up

[00:01:32] People come sweep me along

[00:02:11] Eyes are fixed and my palms are spread

[00:02:16] Dissonance floats my shipwrecked head

[00:02:20] God sleeps in the Gaza strip

[00:02:24] And man alone's left alone to live with it

[00:02:28] The coin-flip faith of the optimist

[00:02:32] It's beginners luck in a sewing kit

[00:02:36] What's to do when there is no fix

[00:02:41] On the unflinching ambivalence

[00:02:45] But you say that's wrong

[00:02:49] Hopeless and wrong

[00:02:54] We re-thread your needle

[00:02:56] You say God play along
