Lyrics

What’ve you got without routine?
You peel the skin of a tangerine
And inside it you see an eight ball
And it just turns and winks
  
And you’re reaching for the chalk
God wears a waistcoat
And there’s all these people looking on
And a stack of 20ps
  
And the cue ball’s always bigger
It’s how it comes out the other side
But within it there’s a tangle
Of recycled plastic dice
  
Everyone. can face. a crisis.
But not everyone. can make. it home.
Everyone. can face. a crisis.
But not everyone. can make. it home.
  
And you fire in a classic
To the heart of the ivory globe
And all the pieces knock together
But you can’t control, which way they go
  
Coz the chalk’s just there for comfort
We’ve been making our own luck
One foot in front of the other
Since we crawled, out of the mud
  
And I looked but I never jumped
And I fell but I never loved
And I cried coz I always could
  
Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah
  
Everyone. can face. a crisis.
But not everyone. can make. it home.
Everyone. can face. a crisis.
But not everyone. can make. it home.
  
If that’s not luck then it’s enough
If that’s not luck, you know it’s something
And it’s been playing on my mind
Over and over again
  
And I looked but I never jumped
And I fell but I never loved
And I cried coz I always could
If that’s not luck then it's enough
  
I'm on the edge yeah cause and effect
Could be my big break
Rather play my best and lose
Than be like you, mate
Straight loss you’ve been potting the black
Me and you inside the frame
Why’d you have to say that?
 
I'm on the edge yeah cause and effect
Could be my big break
Rather play my best and lose
Than be like you, mate
Straight loss you’ve been potting the black
Me and you inside the frame
Why’d you have to say that?
 
I'm on the edge yeah cause and effect
Could be my big break
Rather play my best and lose
Than be like you, mate
Straight loss you’ve been potting the black
Me and you inside the frame
Why’d you have to say that?
 
I'm on the edge
I'm on the edge
 
I'm on the edge yeah cause and effect
Could be my big break
Rather play my best and lose
Than be like you, mate
Straight loss you’ve been potting the black
Me and you inside the frame
Why’d you have to say that?
 
I'm on the edge yeah cause and effect
Could be my big break
Rather play my best and lose
Than be like you, mate
Straight loss you’ve been potting the black
Me and you inside the frame
Why’d you have to say that?
 
I'm on the edge yeah cause and effect
Could be my big break
Rather play my best and lose
Than be like you, mate
Straight loss you’ve been potting the black
Me and you inside the frame
Why’d you have to say that?
 
I'm on the edge
