Was that the hall

V1

At 21, I tied the knot,

Working hard, still climbing to the top,

Playing the game, markets rise and fall,

Cleaning house, with margins, puts and calls.

At 29, the world was mine,

Seven figures banked, wife, baby on the way,

Deals in Hong Kong, mountain peaks all day,

Seattle, Portland, that's where I play.

Chorus

21, I tied the knot,

29, the world was mine, I had a shot,

40, markets rise, markets fall,

I made a haul, I had it all!

Life's a roller coaster, up, down, and fast,

From Hong Kong lights to this run that couldn’t last.

---

V2

40 years, a journey complete,

Goal achieved, life’s tapestry neat,

Taiwan, Macau, Hong Kong’s bright gleam,

Caribbean shores, a tropical dream.

Five-star VIP, livin’ life right,

For family and me, every day a new height.

Bridge

Now it's getting late, where am I now?

This isn’t the place I thought I'd allow.

Shabby motel, just me and a bed,

God, is this hell? What’s left in my head?

---

Outro

What happened? I guess it's give and take,

We dance through chaos, for heaven’s sake.

We rise, we fall, from Fortune to none,

Outta fame, outta it all, I’m done.

Breathe in, breathe out, the final call,

The story’s over—was that the haul?
