Austin Costello's Blues

Lyrics

[Verse]
Austin Costello bets his last dime
Rolls the dice and prays for time
Cards in his hand always come up ash
Luck left him cold on a losing crash

[Chorus]
He's the worst valve man Houston's seen
Dreams he's smooth but he's caught between
Fixes nothing breaks it all
That gambler's rise becomes his fall

[Verse 2]
Every night his coins hit the ground
In smoky rooms where regret is found
Shuffling cards like it’s his last breath
He bets the house and flirts with debt

[Bridge]
The bass slaps loud like his cracking shell
Each bluff he calls digs a deeper well
Hands are shaky valves won’t keep
In Houston's streets his failure seeps

[Chorus]
He's the worst valve man Houston's seen
Dreams he's smooth but he's caught between
Fixes nothing breaks it all
That gambler's rise becomes his fall

[Verse 3]
The dice don't care the cards won't bend
Austin's game leads to no end
His tools won’t bite his luck won’t turn
In shadows deep his bridges burn
