Don't place your bets on me just yet
I'm only halfway home
[Verse 1]
This racket takes its toll
My scams are smooth and cold
I'm bathing in a fountain
And I'm not getting old
I crave to catch an edge
Break bones and cartilage
Send back the architects of Carthage
Take down the flag, forget the pledge
I'm only halfway home
Puff out your chest and step to the sun
It's done its best to burn everyone
Who's gotten halfway home
[Verse 2]
Cut me into three
One to save, one to waste and one to eat
I cut myself in three
One for us, one for them and one for me
Drinking pots of coffee till every drop is gone
Painting a portrait of Ponce de León
Out of clipped nails from the hands and the feet
Of every lost and stubborn soul I hope to ever meet
