Jimmy Eat World – Big Casino Lyrics  Share

From Jimmy Eat World's album: Chase This Light

Before this world starts up again
It^,s me and night
We wait for the sun
The kids and drunks head back inside

Well there^,s lots of smart ideas in books I^,ve never read
When the girls come talk to me I wish to hell I had

(Get Up, Get Up) Turn on ignition
(Get Up, Get Up) Fire up the system
Play my little part in something big

I^,ll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they^,ll say ^,All the salt in the world couldn^,t melt that ice^,
I^,m the one who gets away
I^,m a New Jersey success-story
And they^,ll say ^,Lord, give me a chance to shake that hand^,
(They^,ll say)

Back when I was younger I was someone you^,d^,ve liked
Got an old guitar I^,d had for years I^,d let you buy
And I^,ll tell you something else that you ain^,t dying enough to know
There^,s still some living left when your prime comes and goes

(Get Up, Get Up) Dance on the ceiling

(Get Up, Get Up) Boy, you must be dreamin^,
Rock on young saviour, don^,t give up your hopes

I^,ll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they^,ll say ^,All the salt in the world couldn^,t melt that ice^,
I^,m the one who gets away
I^,m a New Jersey success-story
And they^,ll say ^,Lord, give me a chance to shake that hand^,

I have one last wish
And it^,s from my heart
Just let me down
Just let me down
(easy)

I^,ll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they^,ll say ^,All the salt in the world couldn^,t melt that ice^,
I^,m the one who gets away
I^,m a New Jersey success-story
And they^,ll say ^,Lord, give me a chance to shake his hand^,
(They^,ll say)
