One for the joker
One for me
One for the road
Twenty for his soul
But I don't want to know
This is me - I might fail
I can hardly steer let alone put on the brakes
So I just keep clear of stations
Legs don't fail me now
I don't want to know
This is me cornered tight in compact steel
Under cemented wire mesh
Wrapped over in this stone cold flesh
Suddenly it's my finger moving watch closely
This is my strength being eaten
This is me bone dry torn from surviving flesh
If this is my last breath
I don't want to know I might fail
I've got the hands that can reach your neck
If they feel the need
But I don't want to know
This is me under here bent back broke in half
A sinking anchor screaming in anger
Suddenly it's my finger moving
This is more than structure it walks under your heel
A corner to fit in a house to die in
These are last chances and I might fail
In the land where the leg thought before the head
They were just moving for food and shelter
It just took a hundred steps for every one
Can hardly blame them
One down and a hundred to go
I swear this isn't me
I caught myself again the
One step ladder tries to f** me over again
Takes it all at once
One for the joker
One for his thieves
One for the road
Twenty for his skin
But I don't want to know this is me I might fail
I can hardly chew my food let alone pay the rent
So I just keep clear of stations
Legs don't fail me now
