|
Did your lucky numbers arrive |
|
In the roll of the dice |
|
In the fire of your eyes where there once was love |
|
I heard they kicked you out to the back road |
|
Of the Vampire Casino |
|
Still clutching thirteen chips and spitting blood |
|
You were climbing up a decent din |
|
A scarlet tear-drunk singing |
|
'One day I will make the women throw' |
|
You were dialling up more endless ghosts of your past |
|
But it's left ringing |
|
'Cos they see your name appear when the screen glows |
|
Did you hear the laughs and the gasps |
|
From a cast in the play |
|
You were a hit |
|
You were off-script and in love |
|
It was just two hours to go |
|
Before the Vampire Casino |
|
Took your hat, sat you down and sucked your blood |
