Gambler's Blues

(앨범: Paradise In Distress - 1999)

The table's smoking, I got money to burn
Get ready to spin that wheel again
I came to gamble, not to dance tonight
So cut the cards and deal 'em nice
All or nothing, roll the dice
Son of a gun, there's something going on

Yeah, today's my lucky day
Lady Luck, please come my way
I got money to burn, money to burn tonight
And as the dealer calls the play
I feel the shiver, coming over me
Feel it in my fingertips alright

Cards sliding faster and slicker
Than a hooker's lips in the neon light

I do what I do, I'm a gambling man
I gamble on life and I gamble on love
Gamble on luck from above, anyway I can
Seven card stud, with a full-house hand
I'm a jackpot maniac, my friend
Tequila shots, one more chance
For the blackjack gambling man

The devil bets, he bets on hell
And seven come, eleven right
Holding eights and aces tight
The gambler bets on heaven tonight
The devil bets, he bets on hell
Going in for the kill
Holding eights and aces tight
It's the gambler's bet tonight
On heaven tonight
