toehider - you and i both lose (but 5 wins) كلمات الأغنية

“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 tresp-ssing
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 sh-t!”
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!!!

you and i both lose, but 5 wins
