lyrics

There's a playing card tacked to my wall.
I’ve never really believed in it.
I never claimed to be the king of anything.
I never even dreamed of it.

A bookmark to my senses, a reminder of myself.
The confidence of Kingston streets, it survived that day with me.

In my head I'm a terrible person.
Dark water where you can't feel the bottom.
I keep moving just to stay alive.
I keep killing just to pass the time.

I outlived a reputation that was dragging me down.
I know I'm still playing this crooked game.
‘Cause it's the only game in town.

Modern classic, pointless romantic.
Keeps me in place on the slow train.

I try and shake the guilt that comes from living on the run.
I try and say it's for the best or it's just what I've become.
So don't forget me just yet. I know I came back and I left.

"I know it's crooked, but it's the only game in town." - Canada Bill Jones. Referenced in Neil Gaiman’s American Gods.
