I had a real good crime in the back of my mind

Doing my best to get it all out

Taking nothing, I'm wondering (?)

Yeah, I'm making a stand on a dead mans hand

It's just like aces and eights

Swallowing hard in the back of some car

It's the fate of the Jack of all stakes (And how long)

Yeah, stupid lead stone had to travel alone just to open our gates (And how long) 

Now they're spitting out skulls, for the thrill of it all is of coming out scathed

Yeah, the wondering's a gift for a man set adrift

Find the shortest way back to shore

The love you compose is the beauty you chose

Nothing less than or somethin' more (And How Long)

Yeah, stupid lead stone had to travel alone just to open our gates (And how long) 

Now they're spitting out skulls, for the thrill of it all is of coming out scathed

It's getting so, it's getting so, a man never knows

Yeah, when moving the earth is losing its worth

You can pack up and take it home

Taking your pass, like a man who doesn't last (?)

All your talk and a pile of stone (?)

Yeah, in the back of mind, no it's no fucking masterpiece

I've been murdering doubts just to get it all out

Listen man this is something at least (And how long) 

Yeah, stupid lead stone had to travel alone just to open our gates (And how long) 

Now they're spitting out skulls, for the thrill of it all is of coming out scathed (And I know)

It's getting so, it's getting so, a man never knows
