Toehider - You And I Both Lose (But 5 Wins) Тексты
Ok but this is the last thing
I said to my good friend
If this bombs man, if this time it doesn’t fly
I’m throwing the towel in. I tire of these welts from
Banging my head against the wall
And with that (quite startled) I saw her trespassing
Her hands were deep within my bin out on the curb
Excuse me, but what are
My words interrupted
(As) she pierced her gaze into my eyes
You seem like a good boy
She reached in her pocket
You look like you could hold your own and last a game!
She just started giggling, quite uncontrollably
Pulled up a chair! Tied back her hair! With not a care, whipped out a deck of cards
Opened the box, I looked at my watch, she pulled up her socks and
Dealt a hand of 5 (1,2,3,4,5)
I tried to explain that I had to be somewhere
She pressed her finger to my lips and shooshed me down
“Just sit in your chair there, you're right where you should be
You got no better place to go! Now
The rules of the game, she continued, are simple
Regardless of your card, the number, or its suit
You place it on top of the pile in the centre
And simply say the number 5
She seemed unconcerned with the turn of my eyebrow
And pushed me down the second I tried to get up
And that was the point I lost my sense of humour
So, what, that’s it?
You’re full of shit!
She didn't quit, no, it's like she didn't hear
So! Now you know the way it goes, let's play and... Oh!
So here's the final rule
You and I both lose, but 5 wins!
You've got to be joking?, I said, fully puzzled
That's easily the dumbest card game of all time
So, what, we just sit here, and stack up our hands, and
No matter what, we call a 5?
She then scratched her finger up hard on her jawbone
And said: Look man, it isn't me that makes the rules
I'm merely concerned with the teaching, the playing
The execution of the game
We sat on my front deck, what must have been for hours
Just emptying hand after hand of all our cards
At some point she left, but I really can't remember
Back to the game. Devote my brain, but it ends the same, no matter what I do
My patience thin, my manic grin, I'll never win - no, 5 will. Every time
You and I both lose, but 5 wins
It's been such a long time, since I've seen that lady
(This all happened back in two thousand and five)
Try as I might to resist the temptation
I'll still pick up this deck of cards
And though she is gone now, I'll always remember
The day she taught me of this blasted waste of time
But the thing is, dear,listener, I can't stop from playing
Along she came, without a name, and a stupid game
Impossible, and still
Just one more time!
I'll turn to find
Maybe this time, arghh I can beat the 5!
