lyrics

2. BETTING BOY:
can’t see another way
This pulling back & forth, my friend
Futile as anything we ever seem to do

Acerbic in our veins
Blame another God again
Still titillated even as we lose

You wandered in my way
Beating in my heart again
Such an easy thing for you to do

You wandered in my way
Tried to find my heart again
..That’ll get you!
-----
We want a different life
I’m not there so I can’t hold your hand
Bet on a broken dream
Well, I’m a betting boy
---
Trepidation in my sleep
That is holding down my arms again
What is Done is done, receipts are final

In the company we keep
I would shield you in my arms, my friend
If I could give my breath, it’s all for you

You wandered in my way
beating in my heart again
Forgot to breathe, an easy thing to do

Wandered in my way
The beating of my heart again
Just goes to show that you ain’t got one
---
(chorus)
---
All we here
What did they ask us?
I can’t remember
All we here
When it all comes down
I’m a betting boy…..
