Lyrics

More or less your story has been told a million times
Push and pull; unpredictable; it’s a read between the lines
The odds are ever changing; breaking even still remain
The cornerstone of all your lonely games

Some you lose, some you cruise, some you win
Some play through the balance due and some cash in
Take what they’re giving; giving what they’ll take
Roll until your roll runs thin or your Ship Comes In

Lose a fitting wardrobe with every bank you break
Give away a giveaway with every pot you take
Think you know that gaze; see it and you raise
A show of cards it hits so hard; everyone’s amazed

Some you lose, some you cruise, some you win
Some play through the balance due and some cash in
Take what they’re giving; giving what they’ll take
Roll until your roll runs thin or your Ship Comes In

It’s a gamble to begin
Some poor pathetic soul will lose so someone can win

Think this time you got em; winner take it all
Pray all night to play it right, when it’s time to see and call
Somewhere in the corner; in the corner of your eye
Is a life whose only limit is the sky

Some you lose, some you cruise, some you win
Some play through the balance due and some cash in
Take what they’re giving; giving what they’ll take
Roll until your roll runs thin or your Ship Comes In
