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 fuck 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
