Gather Cowboys
The best players
around
It’s time that I
Welcome you
Horseshoes Inn
I’m sorry but
The dealers gone
Y’all raised the
Stakes so high
It’s play
Or die
But I survive
So too
The cards
The chips
The ante
The money in
Your wallets
I guess I never realized
I was what lay on the table
Indestructible
Insurmountable
But inexistence
Without the play
I met a gypsy once
Who showed me
Another world of games
I was sure this realm
Would grant me
A better fate
God
How wrong I was
The only winner here
Is the one who doesn’t
Play
If I could only find someway
To melt the hearts the clubs
The diamonds and spades
Anything to make me feel like
I separated myself
From the game
But the magician
I see is rising
On the horizon
His is not a game
My only worthy contender
Holding the attention
Of the ranchers
And ethnic travelers
Maybe the magician
Can save me
We’ll see when
He checks in
------
"If you get a feeling next time you see me
Do me a favor and let me know
'Cos it's hard to tell
It's hard to say
Oh well, okay"
Elliott Smith
