I'm stuck here between hope and frustration
Keep getting thrown from side to side
It's an familiar situation
I'm on life's own rollercoasterride

See the light at the end of the tunnel
Big relief, got it all in sight
But things can change within a second
And broad daylight turn to the darkest night

It's just the same old story
I've had enough of trouble
But I keep getting more
A cold wind blows
Well I know just how it goes
I've seen it about a million times before

Put another coin in the onearmed bandit
Buy a ticket from the state lottery
Put another coin in the jukebox
Lady Luck come dance with me
