Old Gem

You know it’s not about your clothes

This game of life is not a contest

This poker face ain’t what you chose

You’d rather be humble and honest

But now your down upon your knees

Asking the lord up for forgiveness

But that don’t matter much to me

Life happens for a reason

You know it’s all about your smile

Your sense of style’s just a complex

The hand you were dealt came from the pile

Without a bid there is no context

But when you call on suits of greed

You’ll find the answer in the gamble

But that don’t matter much to me

Everything happens by the handful

And do you feel like the clock has been misleading you

(Choice you made, ripple in a wave, of an endless pool)

And only time will tell if you’re stuck as well

I’m an image of an imaginary fool

(Pull it back, till the sides collapse. I gotta make it feel so brand new)

And do you feel like the clock has been misleading you

(Choice you made, ripple in a wave of an endless pool)

And only time will tell if your stuck as well

I’m an image of an imaginary fool

(Pull it back, till the sides collapse. I gotta make it feel so brand new)

And do you feel like the clock has been misleading you

(Choice you made, ripple in a wave of an endless pool)

And only time will tell if your stuck as well

I’m an image of an imaginary fool

(Choice you made, ripple in a wave)

You know it’s not about your clothes

This game of life is not a contest

This poker face ain’t what you chose

You’d rather be humble and honest

But now your down upon your knees

Asking the lord up for forgiveness

But that don’t matter much to me

Life happens for a reason
