Mulligan Sniff

four families conspire for success one left standing the other three beggar their neighbors for a mulligan didnt you hear the world was ending? just want it over and over this is where i live wonderful life, but dont tell me that I'm not supposed to be here abracadabra never made me dissapear beautiful when a plan comes together never trust my selfrighteous suicide what are we fighting over success the shift of power who is to be the last one standing the truth of why we say god save the queen and whose paying who with what stairway to ensure all life lessons learned are squeaky greasy pass me the dice its my turn to look the snake in the eyes waiting for my moment to pull the wool off the wolf and devour the lamb the drier keeps eating my socks but somewhere where i am im not lost my mind, trading it all for marbles ready to cash in anyone left at the table knows the rules i'll huff and i'll bluff and martyr myself til you remember wont work this way anyway three faces under the stairs trick you this way til you catch on in your deja vous war tactic then break the mould with a supposed chaos carriage for two yesterday came and went today the sun sets my mind calming tomorrow there will be no more stormy weather but dont listen to me im no weather man mulligan
