Ellis Paul - Lay Your Wager Down lyrics

You're my flesh and blood But we're not the same A common name And now A common distance I looked up to you In your plush armchair Respect or fear I couldn't see the difference Lay your wager down Who'll be king in tinsel town? 'cause all the prophets and the gypsies On the strip in venice beach Have looked me in the eye And said, "your dreams still lie in reach" And who am i to doubt them And who are you To write these speeches? Is it my poverty That brings a blush to you? Or the honesty That speaks the mind That comes with it Were you once a man With younger eyes A hungry pride That would not feel Resistance? Lay your wager down They're crowning the king in tinsel town There are strangers, there are lovers Out on fairfax in a line They look me in the eye And say "our thoughts are intertwined" And who am i to doubt them? And who are you to tear down These signs?
