Bet Your Life

Retired since the 1st of June

He walks into the winning room

His hand sweeps up like a broom

All the coins in the tray

He's been there all day long

His winning streak is never gone

You bet your life it's a long way down from here

His home, the first thing to be sold

She regrets the bank she rolled

All his savings have been dissolved

When he comes home in tears

She feels like she's getting somewhere

When he holds onto her side

She'd like to make one thing clear

It's the sadness inside that she feels

You bet your life it's a long way down from here

With his life completely drained

He's on a losing streak again

Until his love is thrown away

The dice won't fall for him today

Sitting lonely on a chair

The bells ring out around him there

He walks outside to take the air

As time slips slowly by

And the tears well up in his eyes

And the bank's about to break

You bet your life there's no more she can take

With his life completely wrecked

He puts the cards back in the deck

Because he loves her more than the pain

The dice might fall for her today

Cos you can bet your life there's no more

Cos you can bet your life there's no more she can take
