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

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

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

Others wilt in casinos[00:00:08]

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

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

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

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

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

Man we were wrong [00:00:33]

Man we were wrong [00:00:37]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On the unflinching ambivalence[00:02:41]

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

Hopeless and wrong[00:02:49]

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

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