Every time you look into my face
Well, you take away something you don't replace, my friend
I call it a disgrace, my friend
When you come out of hiding
Well, you you'd better start confiding
Else a price you'll have to pay
Leaving your pockets empty

Wondering when will you admit
That the game you're playing is too big to quit, my friend
And it's much too near an end
You'd better keep your fingers crossed
You're really the loser if you've lost
You set the wheel a-spinning 'round
You looked awhile, you're locked behind

Now I've made a resolution
To follow this game to its own conclusion, my friend
So your own intrusion defend
Think carefully on each step you take
For you've got my interest in the stake
You've had your turn, now I begin
And I'm praying you're going to win

Every time you look into my face
Well, you take away something you don't replace, my friend
I call it a disgrace, my friend
So when you come out of hiding
Well, you you'd better start confiding
Or else a price you'll have to pay
Leaving your pockets empty
