|
Every twenty seconds someone's pounding someone down |
|
Every thirty more a liar's born |
|
Every half an hour I get up and look around |
|
And once or twice a day I ask for more |
|
On a really good day there's something in the mail |
|
Once a week I get a treat |
|
Other times a month goes by |
|
But still I never miss a beat |
|
Get it on the table, pass the gravy pass the buck |
|
Get it on the table, secrets and lies, |
|
Silence, faith and luck |
|
Once a year the holidays come swinging at your head |
|
Feast until you're full of pain again |
|
It tightens in your chest and now it's written on your face |
|
You're staring at your lover or your friend |
|
Get it on the table, pass the gravy pass the buck |
|
Get it on the table, secrets and lies, |
|
Silence, faith and luck |
|
Cuz it's hand to mouth, door to door, cradle to the grave |
|
Asking for more, asking for more, |
|
Cuz it's hand to mouth, door to door, cradle to the grave |
|
Asking for more, asking for more, I'm asking for more |
|
Maybe if you're lucky you will have your sunny day |
|
Once a lifetime maybe twice |
|
But even when you're dying you're still hungry for the choice |
|
Was chance the only certainty in life? |
|
Get it on the table, pass the gravy pass the buck |
|
Get it on the table, secrets and lies, |
|
Silence, faith and luck |
|
Get it on the table, pass the gravy pass the buck |
|
Get it on the table, secrets and lies, |
|
Silence, faith and luck |
