Lyrics
Playing The River
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In due time he’ll erode
Unless he draws hands flush with poise and nobility
The chances are simply bleak
(Big Blind in sight)
(Raise him your eyes)
The aces up their sleeves will bring them relief like no other
A silent read through with a violent improvisation
And whos'e to say the other lacks the luster to repeat this malicious cycle
As Texas holds their necks tighter their time will bend
Roulette lives will gamble and wish to draw houses full of their prosperity
The chances are simply weak
Big blind? Am I?
They can’t decide who pulled the trigger
The aces up their sleeves will bring them relief when the other shows they're victorious
A silent read through with a violent improvisation
And now they’ll walk the outskirts, depending on their seats at the living casino
As Texas holds their necks tighter
Their time will bend
As Texas holds their necks tighter
Ones time will end
