[Verse 1: Orpheus]
I’m not a gambling man
I don’t know how to play this hand
I was dealt by force
Thought I could speak easy
But you just bent my words right back on me
Then I broke the law
[Chorus: Orpheus]
Now here beneath the rust
The skytrain rattles round
Overhead
The raindrops fall through dust
And shatter on the ground
Black and dead
I never should have placed my trust in the City
The vulture town that picked me clean
[Spoken Interlude: Jonny d'Ville]
And then, as if answering the call, the vault is filled with music.
[Verse 2: Orpheus]
I’m not a lawless man
I always trusted in your plan
I was dumb like that
I chose the straightest path
But all the landmarks moved as I walked past
Now I can’t look back
I’m not a gambling man
I don’t know how to play this hand
I was dealt by force
Thought I could speak easy
But you just bent my words right back on me
Then I broke the law
[Chorus: Orpheus]
Now here beneath the rust
The skytrain rattles round
Overhead
The raindrops fall through dust
And shatter on the ground
Black and dead
I never should have placed my trust in the City
The vulture town that picked me clean
[Spoken Interlude: Jonny d'Ville]
And then, as if answering the call, the vault is filled with music.
[Verse 2: Orpheus]
I’m not a lawless man
I always trusted in your plan
I was dumb like that
I chose the straightest path
But all the landmarks moved as I walked past
Now I can’t look back
