about

There's probably another version of this song floating around somewhere...

lyrics

it's a midnight gamble and i know i'm going to lose
i dealt myself in even though i'd seen the ruse
outta time, outta luck, outta mind, outta sync, outta place
you say i came in last i didn't even know there was a race

under an old streetlight down there, 65th and detroit
where the yuppies meet the hookers
and the smooth dark dealing dope boys

now if i had it again you know what i'd choose
i'll take nothing back and i'd still sing the blues
if i had it again you know what i'd do
they might have new soles
but i'll always have holes in my shoes

i look on every street corner now for your face
did you get out or get spit out
of this God-forsaken cursed place
your name's in the hallway,
your tag's still on the back door
behind the boarded up windows of the places we lived
before

in a burned out factory i was looking towards the west
planting the seeds of superstition, this is something
you'd have never of kept

now it's all been played out in my mind
between the memory and the truth it defies
in the coda's last line i will seek not to find
for it's left something i can't define
