Two Dollar Punter
I’m a two dollar punter Lookin’ for relief Maximise my chances And I minimise the grief Shook the hand of the smuggler Whispered in the night Me and my people We went looking for the light Some of us got lucky Others disappeared In the heat the truck broke down And when the dust had cleared I threw away my passport That was not allowed I took what I could carry and Got lost in the crowd I’m waiting I’m waiting I’ll ride the tiger While I’m still alive I see the dark clouds descending I swear my soul will survive Crowded in stowage I hear the naked beat Letras de cancionesRunning on the deck above Nails under their feet Soldiers of the free world Come to deliver me From one hell to another On the high empty sea I’m waiting I’m waiting I’ll ride the tiger While I’m still alive I see the dark clouds descending I swear my soul will survive Forgive me my weakness Forgive me my tears But I dreamed of something better All down the bitter years Last night I saw an angel She kissed me in my sleep She said “You can’t go back son, Your heart is in too deep.” I’m waiting I’m waiting I’ll ride the tiger While I’m still alive I see the dark clouds descending I swear my soul will survive From Letras Mania
