Placing Bets
PLACING BETS
restless impatient
mistakes
cold regrets of new
intakes
it takes one night too
long
placing bets high and
strong
holding wild cards too
close
wrecks those we love
most
shut up sit down first class let down
dark velvet midnight
talker
filthy clay grey alley
stalker
burning flames fast fuel
pace
day late ultimate
disgrace
shut up sit down first class let down
getting ready as rains fall
heavy
let it fall
fall
fall
once again
unsteady
placing bets
no regrets
