Lyrics
- WHEN WILL YOU TIRE OF THOSE CRAP-GAME CASINOS?
- YOU’VE PLAYED EVERY DICE GAME, FROM VEGAS TO RENO
- BUT YOU CAN’T FIGHT THIS COMPULSION
- KEEP BELIEVING YOUR LUCK’S IN,
- BUT IT’S GONE IN A TAILSPIN
- COLD MONDAY MORNING ON THE EDGE OF THE CITY
- YOU HAIL DOWN A RIDE TO ATLANTIC CITY
- BUT THE MAN WANTS PAID BACK,
- THEY’LL PUT A BULLET IN YOUR BACK
- MAKE YOU FACE LOOK LIKE ROAD MAP
- BOWED NOT BROKEN
- THE SHARK’S NOT JOKING
- YOU KEEP HOPING
- THE SYSTEM CAN BE BEAT
- A COLD AFTERNOON IN A TOWN FULL OF LOSERS
- A SLOT-MACHINE HEAVEN, FULL OF RED-EYED JUICERS
- BUT THE MAN WANTS PAID OFF
- BEFORE HE STARTS ALL THE ROUGH STUFF
- THEY’VE TAKEN THE GLOVES OFF
- WHEN WILL YOU TIRE OF THOSE CRAP-GAME CASINOS?
- YOU’VE PLAYED EVERY DICE GAME, FROM VEGAS TO RENO
- STAKE IT ALL ON THAT ONE THROW
- THEN YOU RUN OUT OF THE BACK DOOR,
- ON THE RUN ONCE MORE.
