Star Chambered

(albüm: ALPHABETLAND - 2020)

I could have been star chambered
On the tree of rock 'n' roll life
Or maybe a railroad wife
I was railroaded once or twice
I might've dodged a bullet chambered
In the alley running for my life
I'm sure that I dodged a knife
I finally learned my lesson once or twice

A million years ago I took a chance
And let it all unravel slow
I bet on odd 'til I broke even
Then I just had to go
Then I just had to go
Then I just had to go

I could've been things I don't remember
A double-crossing wife
I was in another life
I've been buried once or twice
I played sixteen bars and what did I get?
Another town over and covered in sweat
Almost run over
With another hangover and drunker in debt

A million years ago I took a chance
And let it all unravel slow
I bet on odd 'til I broke even
Then I just had to go
Then I just had to go
Then I just had to go

Where did I put my wings?
I can never find those things
Now I'm running, running late
I might be stuck here at my gate
Though you may be dearly departed
Dearly departed
I'm just getting started

A million years ago I took a chance
And let it all unravel slow
I bet on odd 'til I broke even
Then I just had to go
Then I just had to go
Then I just had to go
