You Alone Choose The Table Lyrics

I upend the drink

And turn the cup

She reads my tea leaves and

Gives me a look

They say the act of looking

Changes the state

Til then you’re neither here nor there

I guess I can relate

She says while others spin their wheels you live by your wits

You live by your wits

And you alone choose the table at which you sit

She says you can’t pretend

To know your own mind

When the only things that matter are

Perspective, circumstance and time

She says you got a clear head coming

And a make or break

A decision that you can’t undo

A choice you can’t unmake

But while others spin their wheels you live by your wits

You live by your wits

And you alone choose the table at which you sit

And you know

You can never sit on your hands

Wherever you go

You got to understand

While others spin their wheels you live by your wits

You live by your wits

And you alone choose the table at which you sit

Well I see vivid colour

I smell heavy scents

And as for cold, hard logic

You wonder where it went

She said you got a real thing coming

Coming down the pipe

But it’s a long long road

And a cold cold night

But while others spin their wheels you live by your wits

You live by your wits

And you alone choose the table at which you sit
