lyrics

I was the underdog on the undercard of an underground gambling ring,
hired to go down in the seventh, visualized the whole damn thing
So I’m floating like a butterfly and stinging like one too, easy money, New York City, Friday night

Now my conscience took control somewhere inside the second round “if you beat him, they’d
redeem you, such a noble turnaround”
But the devil on my shoulder starts to whisper in my ear “you’ll be sleeping in the Hudson if you win”

Take a dive, take a dive, swallow all your stupid pride, now is not the time to be a better man
Hit the canvas like a stone and you might make it out alive, you don’t mess around with crooked bookie men

I knocked him out bout thirty seconds shy of the fourth bell and when the family’s captain
showed up I knew things were gone to hell
In the alley waiting for me with a barrel full of lead, Joey Mad Dog put two bullets in my head

When they buried me in Cherokee under the setting sun they were not aware I’d made a bet at fifty-five to one
Now my wife and kids are on a train to Philadelphia with a suitcase for the winnings, set for life

Take a dive, take a dive, swallow all your stupid pride, now is not the time to be a better man
Hit the canvas like a stone and you might make it out alive, you don’t mess around with crooked bookie men

The Dust Collectors are currently working on their first album, recording with Pat Palardy at Public Lunch Studios in Calgary. The album will be released in the Spring of 2022.
