The course bank
Amongst the ranks
Of the young and old
Playing it up straight
Holding on hold
The debts owed
To the course bank
In time repaid
Or confiscated
When the winners lose
And the other waited
The course bank
Amongst the ranks
Of the young and old
Playing it up straight
Holding on hold
The debts owed
To the course bank
In time repaid
Or confiscated
When the winners lose
And the other waited
The risk of the situation
At hand
Money, life, time, love
Put on the line
Inhibitions to the wind
But sometimes I way awake
In the early hours of the morning
Wondering
Restrained
Breathing
As the light turn out to on
From black to the palest of blues
Have I done the right thing
For me
For you
One can only hold their breathe so long
Before the body reacts
I have to get some sleep
Find a way to relax
But somehow I have grown to love this life
Uncertainty abounding
There is something romantic
Not knowing where the next paycheck is found
So I close my eyes and count to 10
And I slowly fall asleep again
