Metaphorically Speaking
How'd I get
Where I am?
Don't question it
There's no plan
The world's a casino
And life is a slot machine
I hit the jackpot somehow
Yeah, I'm not swimming in cash
In the revenue streams
But still, I've won where it counts
When you're growing up
Time's a bottomless well
And your room is like Heaven
Other people are Hell
Sure, I may be a bum
That's not the worst I could be
If I'm speaking metaphorically
If I knew
How this works
Would that be
Like a curse?
The world's a casino
And life is a slot machine
I hit the jackpot somehow
Yeah, I'm not swimming in cash
In the revenue streams
But still, I've won where it counts
When you're growing up
Time's a bottomless well
And your room is like Heaven
Other people are Hell
Sure, I may be a bum
That's not the worst I could be
If I'm speaking metaphorically
Is it some kind of agency?
I'm not sure of that
Wandering aimlessly
I'm not shocked
Was there some kind of blueprint?
Think I've heard of that
Am I just being stupid?
Sure, why not?
When you're growing up
Time's a bottomless well
And your room is like Heaven
Other people are Hell
Sure, I may be a bum
That's not the worst I could be
If I'm speaking metaphorically
Where I am?
Don't question it
There's no plan
The world's a casino
And life is a slot machine
I hit the jackpot somehow
Yeah, I'm not swimming in cash
In the revenue streams
But still, I've won where it counts
When you're growing up
Time's a bottomless well
And your room is like Heaven
Other people are Hell
Sure, I may be a bum
That's not the worst I could be
If I'm speaking metaphorically
If I knew
How this works
Would that be
Like a curse?
The world's a casino
And life is a slot machine
I hit the jackpot somehow
Yeah, I'm not swimming in cash
In the revenue streams
But still, I've won where it counts
When you're growing up
Time's a bottomless well
And your room is like Heaven
Other people are Hell
Sure, I may be a bum
That's not the worst I could be
If I'm speaking metaphorically

I'm not sure of that
Wandering aimlessly

Sure, why not?
When you're growing up
Time's a bottomless well
And your room is like Heaven
Other people are Hell
Sure, I may be a bum
That's not the worst I could be
If I'm speaking metaphorically
