Lyrics

And what have 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're firing a classic

To the heart of the ivory globe

And all the pieces knock together

But you can't control which way they go

'Cause 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 'cause I always could

Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah

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 'cause I always could

If that's not luck then it's enough

If that's not luck then it's enough

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

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

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

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

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
