Peter Wolf - Forty To One lyrics

I'm no fool I knew from the start There are some who mend Some who tear apart I'm no child I can read a map You'd have to be dumb To lose yourself like that Forty to one I bet you forty to one From your fingertips To your Freudian slips You're the first to leave any sinking ship But don't think I Have been remiss I know the length of the odds To a bet like this Forty to one I bet you forty to one Playing it safe it ain't true to my code So I'll double the odds And take the riskier road Deuces are wild And I'm betting it all With nothing to count on To break my fall Now I'm not saying That I can tell There's a hope in hell Of a second throught And all I know is a girl who runs Pretty soon becomes One who can be caught Forty to one I bet you forty to one
