Heathcliff movie - THE GAMBLING SONG lyrics

rate me

<br>

<br>

THE WHEELS'FOREVER SPINNING<br>

THE DICE ARE THROWN AND SCATTER<br>

THE WORDS ARE ALL OF WINNING<br>

BUT ONLY NUMBERS MATTER<br>

<br>

WE BET ON OUR EXISTENCE<br>

WE'LL LAST ANOTHER ROUND<br>

THE LUCKY GO THE DISTANCE<br>

THE LOSERS GO TO GROUND<br>

<br>

FROM BIRTH TO DEATH WE GAMBLE<br>

THE LOTS ARE DAILY CAST<br>

NO WARNING OR PREAMBLE<br>

WHICH ONE WILL BE YOUR LAST<br>

<br>

THERE IS GREAT COMFORT IN PURE HATRED<br>

FOR ENVY NOT ENOUGH, NOT ENOUGH<br>

THE SOOTHING JOY OF MALICE<br>

IS MADE OF STERNER STUFF, STERNER STUFF<br>

THE FAILURE OF A FATHER<br>

THE TORMENT OF A SON<br>

IS A RECIPE TO JUSTIFY<br>

THE WORST THAT COULD BE DONE<br>

<br>

HE'LL DESTROY US UNLESS WE CALL A HALT<br>

SHOULD THE BASTARD STEAL OUR BIRTHRIGHT<br>

IT WILL BE OUR FAULT<br>

<br>

THE RACE IS WON BY CUNNING<br>

A TERRIFYING DANCE<br>

TOO COMPLEX IN THE RUNNING<br>

TO LEAVE IT ALL TO CHANCE<br>

<br>

BUT CHANCE IS ALL WE'RE GIVEN<br>

SO CHANCES WE MUST TAKE<br>

THE GAMBLER'S STAKE IS DRIVEN<br>

THROUGH HEARTS THAT DARE NOT BREAK<br>

<br>

BUT ALL SAVE ONE ARE BROKEN<br>

AS FATAL POINTS ARE SCORED<br>

AND ONE SURVIVING TOKEN<br>

HOLDS SWAY ACROSS THE BOARD<br>

<br>

THERE'S A MOMENT WHEN THE GAME'S BALANCE<br>

TILTS THE OTHER WAY, THE OTHER WAY<br>

WHEN THE ODDS BEGIN TO FAVOUR<br>

OUTSIDERS IN THE PLAY, IN THE PLAY<br>

THE FAILURE OF INCUMBENTS<br>

THE SLEAZY TRICKS THEY USE<br>

MEAN THAT THOSE WHO THINK THEY CALL<br>

THE TUNE CAN ONLY LOSE<br>

<br>

DEAL THE CARDS IT WON'T MATTER HOW THEY FALL<br>

BECAUSE NOTHING IS A GAMBLE WHEN YOU WANT IT ALL <br>

<br>
