| Stare through me
|
| Eyes burning
|
| «Stare through me, I see you giving up your hand»
|
| Eyes burning into the back of his head
|
| Aces hidden up sleeves of cheaters, liars and thieves
|
| Dealer folding a straight and debtor flushing
|
| Drag him kicking out the back
|
| Struggling hands around his neck
|
| «Can't fool me or hide from me»
|
| Wrapping fists around his head
|
| Lessons learned or common sense
|
| «Can't cheat death or hide from it»
|
| Turning pockets for his debts
|
| Concrete tearing at his skin
|
| «Can't fool me, can’t fool me»
|
| «Keep walking, you’ll find your way to the bridge»
|
| Cold pistol pressed in the back of his head
|
| Switchblade hidden in sheathe, in reach while down on his knees
|
| Dealer making him beg and debtor plotting how
|
| To keep his blood from spilling out
|
| Ending up in cold and shallow ground
|
| «Stare through me now, stare through me»
|
| Moon shining down. |
| «What do you see?»
|
| «I see a broken, beaten man. |
| I see a coward at the end»
|
| «Can't fool me now, can’t fool me
|
| It’s a long way down."Gut sinking
|
| «I am a broken, beaten man. |
| I am a coward at the end»
|
| Dealer puts away his gun and tells the debtor to run
|
| Dealer walks along the tracks
|
| Sun is rising at his back
|
| «Can't fool me or hide from me»
|
| Rattling memories around his head
|
| Death at home and in the trench
|
| «Can't fool me, can’t cheat me»
|
| «Can't drink enough to make me drown
|
| Bridge and river pull me down.» |
