lyrics

EITHER WAY IS A BLANK SLATE
PUT ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER
BRACING FOR A LANDSLIDE, OH NO!

ONE GOES UP, ONE GOES DOWN
BOTH GO FORWARD, NEITHER GO AROUND

EITHER WAY IS A BLANK SLATE
WE’RE GOING SOMEWHERE, NO WE DON’T KNOW WHERE
NOT THAT IT MATTERS, OH NO!

IT’S A GAME OF CHANCE WHERE THE DEALER WINS
SO DRAW A CARD OR GO ALL IN
TAKE A BREATH, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
ISN’T WRITTEN DOWN, IT’S ANYBODY’S GUESS

SO JUMP INTO THE DARK
WITH BOTH EYES OPEN WIDE
IS IT THE END? IS IT THE START?
AN OCEAN, DESERT OR MOUNTAINSIDE?

EITHER WAY IS A BLANK SLATE
CHASING YOUR DREAMS THROUGH A BLACK HOLE
DON’T EXPECT NOTHING, OH NO!

IT’S A GAME OF CHANCE WHERE THE DEALER WINS
SO DRAW A CARD OR GO ALL IN
TAKE A BREATH, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
ISN’T WRITTEN DOWN, IT’S ANYBODY’S GUESS

SO JUMP INTO THE DARK
WITH BOTH EYES OPEN WIDE
IS IT THE END? IS IT THE START?
AN OCEAN, DESERT OR MOUNTAINSIDE?

SO JUMP INTO THE DARK
WITH BOTH EYES OPEN WIDE
IS IT THE END? IS IT THE START?
AN OCEAN, DESERT OR MOUNTAINSIDE?
