[English]

It's been so very long since Lady Luck kissed you

Still, you listen for her song

And pray that she missed you

Dead inside 'cause you know it's all pretend

Close your eyes 'cause you're goin' off the deep end again

You're livin' for the rush, for that royal flush

But you take what you can get

You play your final ace for a pretty face

Tastes like Scotch and cigarettes

And you can't help fallin', goin' all in though your odds are bleak

'Til you break your losin' streak

Ooh, oh no

You're livin' for the rush, for that royal flush

But the next best thing will do

You wanna spend your chips on these rosy lips

Tryna get me next to you

'Cause you can't help needin' to believe in findin' what you seek

'Til you break your losin'

Good luck out there, boys

...
