The light flashed in your eyes
You said you had a system
You blew on them and kissed em
You threw 'em and you hit the point again
And no one could divine
The source of all your wisdom
With your extraordinary vision
You tilted and you missed them
And no one will love you more than the birds along the rail
And no one will comfort you more than the people you fail
The heartbreak of coming up seven
And the man takes the chips away
And you look to the birds
But they fall out of love, they fall out of love
The boxman caught your eye
And offered his assistance
Your heart pumped like a piston
The waitress toasted you with ginger ale
And everybody smiled
The pass line and its victims
With their fluctuating incomes
But you can only treat the symptoms
And no one will love you more than the birds along the rail
And no one will comfort you more than the people you fail
The heartbreak of coming up seven And the man takes the chips away
And you look to the birds
But they fall out of love, they fall out of love
