From the recording The Grifter's Bluff
Lyrics
The Grifter’s Bluff
Time pressing in
Shaking me regret the day
Dreams now we have
An exit out another stage
Things don’t
Have to be so
Damn you or me
No, it ain’t the way
All their
Muzzle flashing
History’s lashing
In photo gray
Oh, don’t you think by now
We have pawned enough
Call that grifter’s bluff, oh
And don’t blink
Weeping like an angel
Our streets
Take ‘em while we’re able
Don’t fold
Call the grifter’s bluff
And don’t buy
Anything they sell you
Their lies
Let them compel you
To call the grifter’s bluff
Time wearing thin
Waking me get the day
Dreams now we have
Higher sight a better gauge
Things don’t
Have to be
So, damn you or me
No, it ain’t the way
All their
Muzzle flashings
History’s lashing
In photo gray
Oh, my heart did plead
When time came to choose
What we had to lose
And don’t blink
Weeping like an angel
Our streets
Take ‘em while we’re able
Don’t fold
Call the grifter’s bluff
And don’t buy
Anything they sell you
Their lies
Let them compel you
To call the grifter’s bluff
(And you believed them
don’t blink
Mmm...)
Don’t blink
Weeping like an angel
Our streets
Take when we’re able
Oh, stop and think
Right now we have
Pawned enough
Call that grifter’s bluff
We won’t blink
Weeping like an angel
Our streets
Take ‘em cuz we’re able
We won’t fold
We’ll call the grifter’s bluff
We won’t blink
Weeping like an angel
Our streets
Take ‘em cuz we’re able
We won’t fold
We’ll call the grifter’s bluff
Call the grifter’s bluff
Call the grifter’s bluff
Call the grifter’s bluff
