[Verse 1]
Lucky are the leaves of the clover
She's digging for chemistry with the butcher's tools
Shifty are the eyes of the gambler
He's making his tricks his trade, and a job well done

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the motions, waving wishes
To your confidence and eloquence

[Chorus]
He's turning a-green from these envious glorious things
Applied ambitious faith that can keep us all safe
Invoking a blue that's meant for us too
What small amazing things we will turn to rain

[Verse 2]
Lucky is a deer in the headlights
Those two are as thick as thieves, not a penny more
Shaky are the hands of the gun shy
He'd rather give up the ghost than stick by

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the motions, waving wishes
To your confidence and eloquence
[Chorus]
He's turning a-green from these envious glorious things
Applied ambitious faith that can keep us all safe
Invoking a blue that's meant for us too
What small amazing things we will turn to rain

[Bridge]
Gather 'round, hold your glasses up high
Drink to love while we wait for high tide
Keep it short, keep it brief, you have my word
Gather 'round while we wait for high tide

[Chorus 2]
He's turning a-green from these envious glorious things
Applied ambitious faith that can keep us all safe
These spots, these seeds, like her
We're all a mess as though we all have another
