Heavy Is The Head That Wears The Crown Casino Lyrics

I exist sometimes in the space between

A roulette table and a morgue barely seen

I keep constantly finding out

Every revelation buried in a permadrought

It's every woulda shoulda coulda meant to save the world

A child's eye's sees truth but their voice implodes

I see you clasp your hands and I see you pray

Push the button again god I hate Mondays

Half an hour on hold and i'm ready to burst

They give me contracts clauses then they open the purse

But the reels still spin and horses pass on by

Wallet empty again but I'm a winner tonight

The wager constructed by my worst nightmares

The losses that I have to grin and bear

The free drinks that always seem to cost the most

The scent in my nose that smells like toast

The pain that throbs through joyful tears

The chemicals produced by spinning wheels

The anger I feel when I win the game

The bouncer whose fist rattles my brain

My neurons collapse as I'm shuffled out

Thrown into the Yarra but no one shouts

In my grandest dreams I always tend to drown

Heavy is the the head that has to enter Crown
