lyrics

I’ve been gambling since I was nine
For women drunk on holy wine
My mother loved me, but papa died
She was always making deals outside

Keep on trying
Whatever seems to work
You want it easy
But somebody’s gonna get hurt
Somebody’s gonna get hurt

Strange days spinning round
Bouncing off the madding crowd
Every bird’s scratching at the ground
If I had wings I’d never come down

Not for crumbs in a parking lot
Not for words in a sacred book
Not for applause or a perfect mask
Maybe for love if it’s not too hard
Give it a shot when it comes back

I made a mistake
I made a mistake
I made a mistake

Big sky, open fate
Charging through a narrow gate
I’m gonna be somebody today
All the finest women will want my name

I got a chariot waiting out back
Blades on its wheels you can bank on that
Whether I live or whether I die
Sometimes it feels like I’m on the wrong ride
Sometimes it feels like I’m on the wrong ride

I made a mistake
I made a mistake
I made a mistake again
