Someone Else's Bet

White light
Maybe time to go
Surrounded by all my love
Dozing off
Persuaded by
My mother’s fear
Deathbed sinner’s prayer
Fingers crossed
I will not lay in bed
With a wheel turning in my head
Trying to figure out the spread
Of someone else’s bet
Dinner’s on the table
Your mother’s at the door
Kids are watching TV
You never needed me more
You never needed me more
You never needed me more
Telephone is ringing
Bill collectors buy and sell
I may not be in heaven
But you’re in hell
Okay, I’ll lay here a little while
If you promise to run our history through my head
When my horizon flipped
Started making lists
And I’m never gonna rest in peace
In your debt
