Life is a gamble
With stakes always high
No room for the faint at heart
So play your cards right

Keep an eye on the dealer
To a tee to a fault
He's the one who's the keeper
Win, lose or draw

Over time you will find
Life is not that kind
With a flip of the wrist
With a roll of the dice

If you're still around
Long after last call
Count yourself lucky
Win, lose or draw

Take a spin on the wheel
Landing red or black
Double or nothing here's the deal
There's no turning back

It might keep you up at nights
Invade all your thoughts
With the feeling something ain't right
Win, lose or draw
