Every Time I Die

Lyrics

thanks lord, but I don’t need anymore poor advice.
I got in the cannon with a one way ticket. four riders in a town with one horse. I wagered a sure thing against what was behind the first door.
stack the chips, let it ride. out of sight out of mind.
It’s fool proof, and it wont do to make safe bets while I’m towing the line.
thanks lord, but I don’t need anymore poor advice.
I had a lock on a dirty little secret. a raging bull who was fixed to fall down.
I’ve been waiting at ringside my whole life, but he’s still swinging on.
I got debts piling high. I got addictions and ex wives but I’ve stayed true,
so I thank you for bearing witness while I waste my fucking life.
I’m ready to pay the judge now.
I need to tip the scales, some sort of bribery.
I’m not waiting this out.
I’m ready to pay the judge now.
I need to grease a palm, some sort of certainty. I’m sick of waiting this out.
I should have learned a more noble craft.
out of the library into the lab.
“will the machine gunners please step forth?” ***
there’s only room on the rescue boat for butchers and bakers and men with hope.
and will machine gunners please step forth? will machine gunners please step forth.
