You know those lights keep flashing
just a-grabbing your attention all night
and they keep those cards a-moving
around so you don't ever get wise
yeah the house always wins
(you never know)
the house always wins
(you can't be sure)
the house always wins
(you never know)
the house always wins

could I interest you in a
cup of coffee, or maybe tea?
the cocktail's on the house
it's complimentary
and that means free
just don't fall asleep
(under the covers)
don't fall asleep
(well here's another)
don't fall asleep
(they're gonna get ya)
don't fall asleep

they'll sell you down the river
laughing while they dig through your purse
then lie straight to your face
and tell you that the other guy's worse
they take ya money
yeah they spend it with ease
there's no rock bottom
deep enough for the sleaze
these fucking jokers man
it's never enough
they keep taking and taking and taking

if you find that perfect line
it could make your dreams come true
beat the spread or live in debt
make a move action's on you
double down, been looking out
counting shapes, now bets are due
read em and weep"
