Guard your hand with the slight of a smile
The darker the shadow the brighter the light
Can't well have it nice all of the time
The darker the shadow the brighter the light
I feel reincarnated since this disaster started
An Egyptian king who travels down to the tomb
Dress me up mummy for the here-after party
If you're fed up just give out a King Tut
Your purse all dashed, where the girls at?
Get me back up
Cursing the plan
The better the gambler the worse the man
Brush all the dinner off the plate
Oh which to play
No you didn't rate me
No miss that day
Swing in at eight
Sing until late
Fling all your chips at your fate
Guard your hand with the slight of a smile
The darker the shadow the brighter the light
Can't well have it nice all of the time
The darker the shadow the brighter the light
Roll the bones or hold your own
As you hold your tokens
Your souls in smoke
They told you, "No"
Cold you go
Gold or broke
Roll the bones
It's a game of chance to raise up the weak
And bring down the mighty
Take your action, find your lunch
Or become the lunch
The calmer your hunch
The harder you punch
Guard your hand with the slight of a smile
The darker the shadow the brighter the light
Can't well have it nice all of the time
The darker the shadow the brighter the light
We each be dealt we three knelt
Breathing held, release your belt
Reveal your hell on the green felt
Or alternatively
Down your chin goes south of your grin
You loudly grin not an ounce you spill
Shout within, your bowel is still
Now you spin
The house wins
Guard your hand with the slight of a smile
The darker the shadow the brighter the light
Can't well have it nice all of the time
The darker the shadow the brighter the light
Guard your hand with the slight of a smile
The darker the shadow the brighter the light
Can't well have it nice all of the time
The darker the shadow the brighter the light
