Hollow Victory

Fortune smiles upon me now

I'm having a lot of good luck

Plenty of cash and plenty of booze

I'm on my own and it seems I just can't lose

Without you I'm winning

At pinball and poker

I'm charming the ladies

A regular joker

But it's a hollow victory

When you walked out the door

I swore that I would die a pauper

The very next day the mailman came

I won 1st prize in the local lottery

I can't put a foot wrong

There's nothing can stop me

Life used to mean struggle

But now it's so empty

It's a hollow victory

Why does my life seem so absurd?

I don't understand a single word

I'm losing the nerve

And I've lost my grip

I'm staking my life on the coins that I flip

Without you I'm winning

At pinball and poker

I'm charming the ladies

A regular joker

I can't put a foot wrong

There's nothing can stop me

Life used to mean struggle

But now it's so empty

It's a hollow victory

Hollow victory

Hollow victory

Hollow victory

Hollow victory

Hollow victory
