Hold on Admissions... The night and swelling sidewalks Call to me. Folding. Submission. Those blinking lights, a quickly soothing need Blue-white. the walk signs, I'm running past the end of random chance      Do winners ever quit when                they're ahead? Too many of these casino nights. I never let them end, because I      swear that Lucky Lil has eyes for me. So I'll take my chances. One more dance with these snakebite      pints 'til I can roll these X'd out lids      over these swollen snake eyes. Deuces. I'm losing. These sights and sounds made fuzzy, buzzing slack. Jackpot. They have me. I'm out of moves and fading quick to black. Odds are I'm ending the night wand'ring the sidewalks with old dreams.      Cuz losers never quit when                they're ahead. Too many of these casino nights I never let them end because I      swear that Lucky Lil has eyes for me. But she's rolling shoulder, rolling pupils and shooting      weighted dice. So roll my body out, over      the curb, to midnight.      Because I can never quit                when I'm ahead.

The Gambler, Revisited
Hold on Admissions... The night and swelling sidewalks Call to me. Folding. Submission. Those blinking lights, a quickly soothing need Blue-white. the walk signs, I'm running past the end of random chance      Do winners ever quit when                they're ahead? Too many of these casino nights. I never let them end, because I      swear that Lucky Lil has eyes for me. So I'll take my chances. One more dance with these snakebite      pints 'til I can roll these X'd out lids      over these swollen snake eyes. Deuces. I'm losing. These sights and sounds made fuzzy, buzzing slack. Jackpot.

TLA reference. I'm back baby.
