One to Three

Lyrics

Don't place your bets on me just yet I'm only halfway home [Verse 1] This racket takes its toll My scams are smooth and cold I'm bathing in a fountain And I'm not getting old I crave to catch an edge Break bones and cartilage Send back the architects of Carthage Take down the flag, forget the pledge I'm only halfway home Puff out your chest and step to the sun It's done its best to burn everyone Who's gotten halfway home [Verse 2] Cut me into three One to save, one to waste and one to eat I cut myself in three One for us, one for them and one for me Drinking pots of coffee till every drop is gone Painting a portrait of Ponce de León Out of clipped nails from the hands and the feet Of every lost and stubborn soul I hope to ever meet
