[Verse 1]
Black jack roulette
Losing high and low
She rolls the dice, she's cold as ice
Turn a young man old
Comedy and tragedy
Entertainment or death
Like sister morphine
Hooked on her game
Time to place your bets

[Pre-Chorus]
If it wasn't for bad luck
I'd have no luck at all

[Chorus]
Keep your eye on the money
Keep your eye on the dealer's hand
Keep your eye on the money
Keep your eye on the lady's hand

[Verse 2]
Queen of hearts
Or ace of spades
I'm dancing on the blade
Freak show, going broke
The crowd screams on for more
Electric shock won't bring ya back
You've gone over the boards
Can't beat the clock the deck is stacked
The crowd looks on in horror
[Pre-Chorus]
If it wasn't for bad luck
I'd have no luck at all

[Chorus]
Keep your eye on the money
Keep your eye on the dealer's hand
Keep your eye on the money
Keep your eye on the lady's hand
