[00:00.00] Jimmy Eat World - Big Casino
[00:16.14]
[00:18.14] Before this world starts up again
[00:21.61] It's me and night
[00:24.30] We wait for the sun
[00:25.98] The kids and drunks head back inside
[00:29.59]
[00:31.71] Well there's lots of smart ideas
[00:34.46] in books I never read
[00:38.99] When the girls come talk to me
[00:41.42] I wish to hell I had
[00:44.53]
[00:46.97] Get up, get up!
[00:48.49] Turn my ignition
[00:50.41] Get up, get up!
[00:51.93] Fire up the system
[00:53.87] Play my little part in something big
[00:57.66]
[01:00.00] I'll accept with poise, with grace
[01:03.50] When they draw my name from the lottery
[01:07.10] And they'll say all the salt in the world
[01:09.72] couldn't melt that ice
[01:14.13] I'm the one who gets away
[01:17.56] I'm a New Jersey success story
[01:21.13] And they'll say lord give me the chance
[01:23.75] to shake that hand
[01:26.09]
[01:27.35] They'll say...
[01:29.10] Back when I was younger
[01:31.41] I was someone you'd have liked
[01:35.45] Got an old guitar I've had for years
[01:38.79] I'd let you buy
[01:42.75] And I'll tell you something else
[01:45.35] That you ain't died enough to know
[01:49.76] There's still some living left
[01:51.98] when your prime comes and goes
[01:54.61]
[01:57.64] Get up, get up!
[01:59.08] Dance on the ceiling!
[02:00.98] Get up, get up!
[02:02.50] Boy, you must be dreaming!
[02:04.50] Rock on young savior
[02:06.74] Don't get up your hopes
[02:08.68]
[02:10.61] I accept with poise, with grace
[02:14.09] When they draw my name from the lottery
[02:17.59] And they'll say all the salt in the world
[02:20.34] couldn't melt that ice
[02:24.65] I'm the one who gets away
[02:28.21] I'm a New Jersey success story
[02:31.68] And they'll say lord give me the chance
[02:34.33] to shake that hand
[02:36.68]
[02:38.81] I have one last wish
[02:42.34] And it's from the heart
[02:46.81] Just let me down
[02:48.65] Just let me down easy
[02:53.40] I'll accept with poise, with grace
[02:56.40] When they draw my name from the lottery
[02:59.97] And they'll say all the salt in the world
[03:02.59] couldn't melt that ice
[03:07.03] I'm the one who gets away
[03:10.52] I'm a New Jersey success story
[03:14.06] And they'll say lord give me a chance
[03:16.69] to shake his hand
[03:19.28]
[03:20.32] They'll say...
[03:24.29]
[03:29.70]
[03:38.41] END
