Every twenty seconds   Someone's pounding someone down   Every thirty more a liar's born      Every half an hour   I get up and look around   Once or twice a day I ask for more      On a really good day   There's something in the mail   Once a week I get a treat      Other times a month goes by   But still, I never miss a beat      Get it on the table   Pass the gravy, pass the buck   Get it on the table, secrets and lies   Silence, faith and luck      Once a year the holidays   Come swinging at your head   Feast until you're full of pain again      It tightens in your chest   And now it's written on your face   You're staring at your lover or your friend      Get it on the table   Pass the gravy, pass the buck   Get it on the table, secrets and lies   Silence, faith and luck      'Cuz it's hand to mouth   Door to door, cradle to the grave   Asking for more, asking for more      'Cuz it's hand to mouth   Door to door, cradle to the grave   Asking for more, asking for more   I'm asking for more      Maybe if you're lucky   You will have your sunny day   Once a lifetime, maybe twice      Even when you're dying   You're still hungry for the choice   Was chance the only certainty in life?      Get it on the table   Pass the gravy, pass the buck   Get it on the table, secrets and lies   Silence, faith and luck      Get it on the table   Pass the gravy, pass the buck   Get it on the table, secrets and lies   Silence, faith and luck
