Left my luck in a taxi cab
Spilled my soul on a diner tab
Sky’s got a smirk, streets got a grin
Life rolls dice, never lets me win
Life’s a bitch, taps her nails
Winks at me, never fails
Says, “Run fast,” pulls the rug
Leaves me laughing, out of luck
Fed my dreams to a parking meter
Gave my past to a fortune reader
She just laughed, said
"Kid, you’ll see
Life don’t break, just bends the knee.”
Life’s a bitch, taps her nails
Winks at me, never fails
Says, “Run fast,” pulls the rug
Leaves me laughing, out of luck
Tried to play it safe…boring
Tried to play it cool…snoring
Now I just dance in the mess
Life shrugs, says, “More or less.”
So I tip my hat, take the fall
Life just smirks…ain’t that all?
