King's Cup

(album: Red, Green Or Inbetween - 2017)

It was my first time in California
It was like '09 or thereabouts
Little did I know what was round the corner
Now I'm on my back I'm freaking out

'Cause these playing cards had bad intentions
And the little green man sat on my cup
So desperate for that good impression
I fucked it up

And I woke up in a hospital bed
Let me off the second time
With a brace round my neck and a pain in my head
Lady luck's no friend of mine
As I lay on the ground covered in blood
Safe and sound or stuck in the mud
Lack of pills made me sweat mixed with words that she said
All just pains that relate to the scars of the summer

Today I woke up after 9 with something not quite right
Crazy lack of appetite
Hazy eyes
The walls all white

There's nothing I remember from mid June to late September
She claimed that she was present but I swear I never met her
She's looking from above I thought my chance was done and dusted
Thought I bossed my first impression but the doctor said I fucked it

And I woke up in a hospital bed
Let me off the second time
With a brace round my neck and a pain in my head
Lady luck's no friend of mine
As I lay on the ground covered in blood
Safe and sound or stuck in the mud
Lack of pills made me sweat mixed with words that she said
All just pains that relate to the scars of the summer

Woke up in a hospital bed mixed with the words that she said
