Someone Else's Bet

white light
 maybe time to go
 surrounded by all my love
 dozing off
 persuaded by
 my mother's fear
 deathbed sinner's prayer
 fingers crossed
 I will not lay in bed
 with the wheel turning in my head
 trying to figure out the spread
 on someone else's bet
 dinner's on the table
 your mother's at the door
 kids are watching TV
 you never needed me more
 you never needed me more
 you never needed me more
 telephone is ringing
 bill collectors buy and sell
 I may not be in heaven
 but you're in hell
 okay, I'll lay here a little while
 if you promise to run our history through my head
 when my horizon flipped
 i sat down and i made a list
 and I'm never gonna rest in peace
 in your debt
 I will not lay in bed
 with a wheel turning in my head
 trying to figure out the spread
 of someone else's bet
