lirik lagu the dust collectors (alternative country and folk band) - take a dive

[verse 1]
i was the underdog on the undercard of an underground gambling ring
hired to go down in the seventh, visualized the whole d~mn thing
so i’m floating like a b~tterfly and stinging like one too
easy money, new york city, friday night

now my conscience took control somewhere inside the second round “if you beat him, they’d redeem you, such a n0ble turnaround”
but the devil on my shoulder starts to whisper in my ear
“you’ll be sleeping in the hudson if you win”

[chorus]
take a dive, take a dive, swallow all your stupid pride
now is not thе time to be a bettеr man
hit the canvas like a stone and you might make it out alive
you don’t mess around with crooked bookie men

[verse 2]
i knocked him out ’bout thirty seconds shy of the fourth bell
and when the family’s captain showed up i knew things were gone to h~ll
in the alley waiting for me with a barrel full of lead
joey mad dog put two bullets in my head

when they buried me in cherokee under the setting sun
they were not aware i’d made a bet at fifty~five to one
now my wife and kids are on a train to philadelphia
with a suitcase for the winnings, set for life
[chorus]
take a dive, take a dive, swallow all your stupid pride
now is not the time to be a better man
hit the canvas like a stone and you might make it out alive
you don’t mess around with crooked bookie men
