lyrics

Standing outside in the rain
Steady in his habits like a magician’s rabbit
With the silver tucked deep in his name
The rattle and the rabble and the incessant babble
Come closer he’s a pawn in your game
The scheming and the dreaming and the scheming and the dreaming

All the places he’s been to
All the courses eaten through
Right?
Call your neighbors and call your friends
This is where all the fun will end
Right?

(chorus)
Bet it all
Since there’s nothing to lose
Bare it all
Like a diamond shone through
Street electric static and a phantom in the attic
Let the girls walk on
Just let the girls walk on

Maybe there’s fortune and fame
A sucker every minute every minute is a tick closer to
Blowing up Parliament Lane
Powder in the tunnels in the wigs the over under is the
Silver tucked deep in his name
The scheming and the dreaming all the scheming and the dreaming

All he’s said that he’s meant to you
All he said that he meant to do
Right?
When you’re shook of the last of the bends
This is where all the fun begins
Right?

(chorus)

When you’re shook of the last of the bends
This is where all the fun begins
Right?

(chorus)
Clear and tall
An eclipse of the moon
Turning blood red too soon
