The Tearjerker - The Riverboat Gamblers, Mike Weibe, Rob Marchant

Gimme a break, a 2nd chance for heaven’s sake

Director’s cut, alternate take and I

Won’t mess up any lines, you’ll see

I want a happy end to this movie

I’m not a fan anymore of tragedy

Where I just walk away

I’ll find someone else

And I’ll tell myself

I’ll remain content for all my life which

I can guess that, I’ll contend that it won’t be long

Our friends will say

That our film, while okay

Wasn’t safe, was too strange, difficult to talk about

Lord knows I’ve found

Try to block the critics sound

Words from their throats turn to ghosts and hover round whispering

They say just walk away

Go find someone else

And then tell yourself

That you’ll be content for all your life

Which I can guess that, I’ll contend that it won’t be long

Just walk away

I’ll find someone else

And then I’ll tell myself I’ll remain content for all my life

Which I can tell, I can tell, I can tell

It’s a shame

It’s all wrong

I’ll puzzle over the end all my life

Which I can guess that, and I’ll contend that it won’t be ling

No it won’t be long
