Nice Rack

Gentleman's pool.
We play by the rules.
You know the score.
For ever what's more.

Got what it takes?
These are the stakes.
You bet your life.
I get the breaks.

Rack em up, Charlie
Drink from the cup.
Untie the knot.
Let's see what you got.

Your words, they are wise.
You've got those kind eyes.
But my patience too thin
To go looking within.

We need a new hero.
We need a new goal.
Things add up to zero
When I'm down in the hole.

It's all just an angle
Within a blue curse.
An eightball scratch tangle.
An empty man's purse.

What is it with winning?
What does it all mean?
A perch to look down from.
And a trophy to clean.
