I walked into the game
Like I walked into an open grave
And as the cards were laid
I felt once again I was to be outplayed
Walk into the devils tomb
I hoped that it would be over soon
And I realized then
I could never escape my fate
Back in the hotel room
I'd blown all my dough
Oh it happened so soon
It was time to pack my bags
Let home with a new suit now I'm returning in rags
Picking up my clothes off the hotel floor
I saw a glint of green paper
One-hundred dollars more
And I knew right then I could never
Escape my fate, escape my fate
I headed back to the casino floor
Burned a hole in
My pocket
Poked my head through the door
I'll be rollin again back in the groove
The Roman statues in the foyer are starting to move
I headed on over to the roulette wheel
I watched a few spins, start to get the feel
The barmaid teeters over, offers me a beer
I sit down with my greenback, all the bad times disappear
Back at my nine to five I've been saving back some money
Hand to mouth I stay alive
But as soon as I scrape a bit more
I'll bedrawn towards the tables on that neon lit floor
I know I should try to break it but
I know that someday, someday I'll make it
And I know that I'll sit with the devil
I can't escape my fate, escape my fate
