every night we walk glittering aisles of the casino house takes a cut that wasn’t ours to lose my only vice these days is wanting to be of use buy you roses and hydrangeas but the love it don’t come through tonight we sit around hurling blame like horseshoes damned if i don’t take the low hanging fruit and i will hang if i do it’s not a zero sum game but now we’ve thrown out the rule book all hands on deck kobayashi maru sit out in the garage while she changes in the room lift open the hood and piddle with the fuse fixed more problems than caterpillars have shoes she ain’t looking for a canvas she just wants to mix the hues organized my back pages but the answer still eludes let me just be strong not go overboard with you it’s a game no body wins and not either wants to lose
