A Run of Luck

Disconnect,

This circuit's broken,

The juice is drained,

The body weak and the head is bowed.

I suspect

What stays unspoken

Will prove to be a truer word

Than any we shout out loud,

Chests puffed up proud.

Oh, life's so cheap that there's no doubt

You'll be in too deep when your luck runs out,

When you run aground, when you're done.

Pay the debts,

Play the position,

Just don't pretend

That you've not known all of this before.

Misplaced bets,

Distressed conditions combine.

When time runs out

We know we can't ask for any more.

This much is sure:

That life's still great though the wick's burned up.

You can only wait till your luck turns up.

Still you're spun around

Until you're done.
