Lyrics
I walked these streets all alone
Searching for a place to call home
I’ve seen the ups and the downs
In this node runner’s town
I’ve been R.B.F. ing all night
Putting every sig in all right
But she’s still stuck in the pool
And I’m just sitting here like a fool
I hear the whispers in the wind
Of fortunes lost and found again
But in this game, you play with fire
And your soul, it might conspire; knocking you down
I’ve been R.B.F. ing all night
Putting every sig in all right
But she’s still stuck in the pool
And I’m just sitting here like a fool
When the sun rises, will it be too late?
Did I place my faith in fate?
In this cold, cryptic embrace
I see my reflection, a familiar face; in my mem-pool space
The miners dig through the night
For a treasure, hidden from sight
But sometimes, it’s just a dream
A fleeting, illusive gleam
I’ve been R.B.F. ing all night
Putting every sig in all right
But she’s still stuck in the pool
And I’m just sitting here like a fool
Under the moon's silent gaze
I walk these empty streets in a daze
With every block, another chance
In this endless, cryptic dance
I’ve been R.B.F. ing all night
Putting every sig in all right
But she’s still stuck in the pool
And I’m just sitting here like a fool
R.B.F. ing and she’s gone
