The Gambler
Im out on this ledge
With my hands out stretched
My feet together
Ive reached my tether
Take a deep breath
My cheeks get redder
The pavement will spell it I dont need no letter
I gambled everything and now Ive got nothing
If I was watching, Id probably take odds on me jumping
I shuffle to the edge, Im fifty storys up
And I think this is the end, cos I think I wanna jump
Would someone please..
Will they call my home and
Say I wont be back again
Will they call my home and
Say I wont be back again
Will they call my home and
Say I wont be back again
Will they call my home and
Say I wont be back again
Now I know by my standards
Thats loads of by-standers
I look down and see the crowd talking in sign language
In the wind my ties flapping
I can see lights flashing
I feel my tears stick to my eye-lashes
Theres no going back on this look s like Im still jumping
Ive done the mathematics on it like good will hunting
And all I can hear in my head is unchained melody
Which is strange cos I never fell in love with anybody
I left some funeral money and cleaned my flat
Plus a note with the neighbor asking her to clean my flat
I got summer time butter-flies cos winters waiting for me
Its a starry night like vincent painted it for me
The bachelor
Who never asked for anything spectacular
I hope they have to peel me off the pavement with a spatchelor
Im about to risk everything and Ive never felt happier
Yet Ive never felt angrier
My name is the gambler
Would someone please..
Will they call my home and
Say I wont be back again
Will they call my home and
Say I wont be back again
Will they call my home and
Say I wont be back again
Will they call my home and
Say I wont be back again ..
