It's been so very long
Since lady luck kissed you
Still, you listen for her song
And pray that she missed you
D**d inside
'Cause you know it's all pretend
Close your eyes
'Cause you're going off the deep end again
You're living for the rush, for that royal flush
But you take what you can get
You play your final ace for a pretty face
Tastes like scotch and cigarettes
And you can't help falling, going all in
Though your odds are bleak
Till you break your losing streak
Oh, no
You're living for the rush, for that royal flush
But the next best thing will do
You want to spend your chips on these rosy lips
Trying to get me next to you
'Cause you can't help needing to believe
In finding what you seek
Till you break your losing streak~
The clock ticks loud, the hour's getting late
You curse the hand dealt out by cruel fate
One eye on the door, one eye on the prize
A hollow glimmer shining in your eyes
You know the game is fixed, the outcome set
But you can’t walk away from a single bet
(Outro)
You push the stack of chips, your final stand
The cards are shown, the outcome's in her hand
The silence screams, a sigh of sweet defeat
The bitter taste of failure, oh, so sweet
No royal flush, just dust and fading heat
The losing streak goes on.
