Lyrics

I'm a gambler and often I lose But the kick's in the playing not paying the dues Sometimes I pluck order out of the form I slack for a moment, the moment is gone I'm a gambler and sometimes I lose Stuck in the same spot always passing through Closed eyes guide the hand as I choose Your interrogation's a match to a short fuse Like a dumb kid, I imprint on your dress You're the cherry on top of this mess How many times have you heard me confess? And how many times have you had to guess? So my state of flux is permanent I keep you indoors as an ornament But you'll understand, you'll hold the fort Love is the bail every time I'm caught I'm a gambler and often I lose The ghost of a spoilt child walks in my shoes Always an offer I cannot refuse Always a time bomb I cannot defuse I'm a gambler and that's what I do A gambler and that's what I do
