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
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

Ooh, oh, no

You're living for the rush, for that royal flush
But the next best thing will do
You wanna spend your chips on these rosy lips
Tryna get me next to you
'Cause you can't help needing to believe
In finding what you seek
Till you break your losing

Good luck out there, boys
