Dollar and the Devil (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Neon signs flicker down the sidewalk tonight

Ain't no strangers here, just the hum of a distant light

I toss my last dollar in the air, watch it spin

Land on the rail where the bartender keeps the pin

He says keep your change, but I don't take nothing for free

Cause when you win at cards, that's the kind of price we pay to be

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm chasing something in the glow of these lights

Maybe I just need a reason to stay up till morning

I got one more hand, maybe this is gonna go my way

Chorus

Deal me a break, deal me a dream

Dollar and the devil, let's see who wins tonight

Can you read me right or am I playing blind

Dollar and the devil, we're about to collide

Dollar and the devil, can't tell if it's luck or fate

You spin the wheel and then you take what's mine

Verse

Joker falls face up on a table worn thin

Girl across from me gives me that look like she's giving in

Cigar smoke curls slow like it don't want to leave

Clock keeps ticking down while we both got nothing to breathe

He says fold your hand, boy, the pot is won

I push my chips forward, say 'Put the money where I can see it before you go

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm chasing something in the glow of these lights

Maybe I just need a reason to stay up till morning

I got one more hand, maybe this is gonna go my way

Chorus

Deal me a break, deal me a dream

Dollar and the devil, let's see who wins tonight

Can you read me right or am I playing blind

Dollar and the devil, we're about to collide

Dollar and the devil, can't tell if it's luck or fate

You spin the wheel and then you take what's mine

Bridge

You won't leave me with nothing but debt and shame

Maybe that's the prize I've been playing for all along

I let go of every card in my hand

If this is how you say goodbye, I'm glad to understand

It costs just one dollar to find out who I am

Maybe I was wrong, maybe this is where it begins

Chorus

Deal me a break, deal me a dream

Dollar and the devil, let's see who wins tonight

Can you read me right or am I playing blind

Dollar and the devil, we're about to collide

Dollar and the devil, can't tell if it's luck or fate

You spin the wheel and then you take what's mine
