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
