Big Break
By Indi Riverflow | June 17, 2015
And told me I had won the prize
Opened the door and oh how I fell
For the impeccable disguise
I beheld all the elements of a face
A pair of beady myopic eyes
Casting that perfect pose of grace
Lips dripping with delicious lies
Under a nose that never tasted a rose
But had bouquets all over the place
{Chorus}
Best to break even
On those big breaks
‘Cause the bigger the tent
The bigger the stakes
On the fast-track to a cul-de-sac
Riding a jacked-up Cadillac
Take care your big break
Doesn’t break you right back
Yeah, be sure your big break
Doesn’t break you right back
Opportunity knockin’ knockin’
Or at least that’s how it sounds
Opportunity knockin’ knockin’
Knock you flat down on the ground
Promenade of prominence
Doin’ the dirty dance of dissonance
Half an inch away from success
And thirsty as Tantalus
{Chorus}
Hotshot used-song salesman
Really knew how to work the lot
Turn a junkyard into a caravan
And a rowboat into a yacht
Discord rode up on a shiny pony
Oozing tons of I don’t know what
Her perfume smelled like alimony
Eyes like a knife to the gut
They rode off into the sunset
Leaving a trail of broken hearts
A shadow and a silhouette
Off to one hell of a start
