Gone To The Dogs

from Tomorrow's World by The Slack 5

lyrics

I'm good at this now, no, I'm not a beginner
The win that I'm having just keeps getting bigger
If this makes me rich it will help me to leave her
I put it on red, it should have been black

Just one more go, I know that I'm a sinner
Odds should be good, they just keep getting thinner
Should go I out or should I go inner
Put my money on this, it should have been that

The wedge in my pocket just keeps getting leaner
Machine that I'm playing just keeps getting meaner
This fucking thing's taking me to the cleaner's
It was the wrong card on the top of the pack

CHORUS
And after all there was always denial
It's all gone wrong, and you and me are over
It's the only thing I allow myself to feel
Be a success on the spin of a wheel

You wouldn't have left me if I was a winner
You'd open your arms and invite me for dinner
Begging me, “please, will you be a forgiver”
Don't know when to quit, I just keep coming back

I wanna give you all that your heart desired
I'm feeling pumped up, I'm totally wired
Bunking off work until I get fired
My horse has come in with a jockeyless back

Adrenaline rush at the eye of the storm, now
Supposed to be working, but studying form, now
I need to confess but I don't even know how
All I've got left is this shirt on my back

CHORUS
And after all there was always denial
It's all gone wrong, and you and me are over
It's the only thing I allow myself to feel
Be a success on the very last deal
