If I were the betting kind I bet you thought the easy life

Was the one you thought you'd live by

And all you had to do was decide

A swimming pool size

Well, you're right



I wish there was an ending to spoil

So as long as I'm thinking

How about a great tragedy?

Where I imagine fire and glass and taillights blinking

We'll see



And if I was the betting kind I bet you thought the easy life

Was the one you thought you'd live by

All you had to do was decide

A swimming pool size

Well, you're right



I wish there was an ending to spoil

So as long as I'm thinking

About a horrible scene

Where I can watch your hopes and your dreams

Just blow into pieces

Before me?



Is there something to learn

Or something to see?

Because nothing to lose

Is not nothing to be



Haven't you

Heard the messages

Haven't you

Read the passages

There's a ghost who

Is going to haunt me for all my life

I'll bet he never touches you



I guess the differences

Between us 3-

They make our open books awful hard to read



Maybe I've

Been painting you

With all the wrong brushes too

Maybe you

Really know

What too much is, well...

Well maybe you do



I wish there was an ending to spoil

So as long as I'm thinking

How about a great tragedy?

Where I imagine fire and glass and taillights blinking

We'll see



Because nothing to lose is not nothing to be

Because nothing to lose is not nothing to me
