Adriatic - By The Pound Lyrics

When I told you about my dreams you said you heard
Themes of running away from a killing curse
Well it's in my blood and in my cards and in my eyes
It's in the kiss upon my head and in whatever's denied
So tell me can I find my feet or the change I seek?
Or from the cradle to a gambler's debt am I doomed to repeat?
Ten paces, turn and shoot, but my legs are bound
By all the disappointing bets I've made in this town
Now that the house is lost
I can't imagine I'll pitch a tent on
The Fallsview Boulevard
The psychic said I'm homeward bound
But my therapist says to stand my ground
So I'm building fortune by the pound
Don't imagine I'll be mowing lawns
For whatever's been foreclosed on
The Fallsview Boulevard
The psychic said I'm homeward bound
My therapist says to stand my ground
So I'm building fortune by the pound
I'm building fortune by the pound
I'm building a fortune
