lyrics

wheel go rattling underway
jack and handle kissing
two black on four empty days
in places love is missing
no doubt you get it down you
drink it up, what's all around you
and how they pray
unashamed you listen at st paul's
catherine of roulette's
gonna place her bets

blues adventured nothing gained
dumb streak quite amazing
strip 'em right back to a name
all fluffed for the occasion
don't like it
get off my dick
ditch your bitchin midget sidekick
that pink-champagne face more fit for grazing
on the baize's stain
where the dealer sweats
and we place our bets

jesus gambles as he saves
though god's dice are golden
blew his stack down massive graves
in omaha and oldham
this fridgid royal marriage
the monument and brooklyn bridge
called morgan chase
packaged it and sold 'em
to the knicks
when we got the mets
time to place your bets

hope i'm not too late to play
held up in the traffic
tailed back off some chevrolet
with occupants so graphic
their past needs classifying
there on the clutch they're gratifying
exit this lane
past the girl in plastic
sapphic teen
in her nicorettes
pushed against the screen
caught up in the nets
coming on so mean
brittle as it gets
come on place your bets
