Lament (Interlude)

But mark this in your book

I'm the best



It's a proud thing to be the best at anything

But then you wouldn't know about that



Where you going?



I'm going back



Wait, you say I don't wanna be the best bad enough, but you're wrong

Oh boy are you wrong



Do you know how many hours, how many years

How much of myself I put into this game?



How many nights I slept on that table right there?

Yeah, I did that



I made a deal with the owner so I can practice after the place closed

I haven't been to the movies in years

I haven't dated a girl, read a book

Because it would take time away from the game



Still talk and nothing else?



I'm good, mister, I'm......
