Wait for its now or nothing
therefore you make the great escape
before she thinks you're bluffin'

I’ll keep standing on my own

watch who you're with
you must try to delouse, all the self doubt

I cannot stand tall I've got my head against the locked cage
Bridge
money's talkin' when I should I should be walkin'
interest falling my insides are constantly brawling
