It's been so very long
Since lady luck kissed you
Still, you listen for her song
And pray that she missed you

Dead 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
Taste like scotch and cigarettes

And you can't help fallin', goin' all in
Though your odds are bleak
Till you break your losing streak
Oh-

You're living for the rush
For that royal flush
But the next best thing will do
You wanna spend ya chips
On these rosy lips
Tryna get me next to you

'Cause you can't help needin'
To believe in, finding' what you seek
Till you break your, losing
(Good luck out there, boys)
