Lyrics

I know that everything will get better And I know that everything will get worse Who took all the bills in my wallet? Or did I fill it up in reverse? Taking all the chips to the table Before they're gonna turn out the light Seems like it'll never be worth it But you never know when it might So I'm taking myself to the cleaners Walking on the only street that I trust And I'll dig my own grave a bit deeper Till I get a diamond outta the dust Once I didn't have any money Then I had a little success Once I had a life in the future Now I got a little bit less Play a slot machine for a living Never have a day to relax Everything is constantly spinning Clinging to the edge of the tracks Try to keep a grip on the handle Hoping that it doesn't go bust I guess I gotta get a little more dirty Till I get a diamond outta the dust Welcome to the palace of paintings It's incredible to see what it costs Welcome to the giant casino Built by all the people who lost I know I'm just a drop in the bucket But I wanna still make a splash If I had another leg I'd be happy That's one more pocket where there might be some cash Book myself a room at the dungeon Take the punishment that I must Working on the loneliest chain gang Till I get a diamond outta the dust Driving off the side of a mountain While you're still in the air it's not wrecked Take a little look out the window Nothing that I didn't expect Once I didn't have any chances Then I caught the tropical bug Once there was a pile of options Then I swept it under the rug Always had a gambling fever Got squeezed but I never got crushed Begging for a dime in the darkness Till I get a diamond outta the dust
