Into the Unknown

Dive into the unknown

Bet your life and home

That luck will save you

Get on the first train

In the pouring rain

And pray you’ll get through

Unlike thieves who steal and leave

I face the person I’m taking from

I shake hands with the person I’m taking from

No shame in this endless game for bills in my palm

No fame in this hopeless claim for debauchery psalm

Break rules and make it a survival quest

Make tools and break into the righteous chest

Burn schools and hang fools and let ‘em know the game’s changed,

Party’s about to be at its best

Dive into the unknown

Bet your life and home

That luck will save you

Get on board the first train

In the pouring rain

Hoping you’ll get through

The lady in the damn pretty dress is a mess

But oh man she’s a damn pretty girl

No matter what she cares, what she begs, what she came for

The lady in that dress is a damn pretty girl

So when she looks at me there’s a bomb in my chest

Is it yes, is it go, is it now?

Let me take a chance, throwing dirt on lace

She’s a queen on a chess plate, I’m checkmated

How many will pass by under that dry sky and how many will see me?

How many will I run after? That sun ain’t bright enough for me

I can’t escape her eyes, trapped in a black jack game

Turn around, put water on flames?

Or go, just go, blow on the fire since you need to know?

21 comes out once or twice a night

The spark, come on that spark

I’ve heard about, I’ve read about

I’ve dreamed about

Is right before my eyes

This rise inside of me is like air reaching newborn lungs

What’s up the ladder I just climbed the first rung?

How many will pass by under that dry sky and how many will see me?

How many will I run after? That sun ain’t bright enough for me
