ROYAL STRAIGHT FLUSH
IN RUSSIAN ROULETTE
OJO 2004

Without you
where would I be now
perhaps in Las Vegas
spinning the wheel
throwing the dice
playing poker
with a joker up in my sleeve
without you
my daydream could come true

Ace King Queen
I have a dream
Jack Ten
I win again

Without you
where would I be now
probably sitting in a shabby shack
watching the race track
since a gambling man
doesn't let a single chance slip by
to become stinking rich
without thinking
about either cost or loss

Without you
where would I be now
maybe working day and night
with my perfect lotto system
forgetting how to live my life
and lose every chance
of love to visit me
since money would mean everything
in my confused mind
blinded by numbers and millions

Without you
where would I be now
maybe in Monaco
chasing a beautiful young
European princess
sitting in the casino bar
drinking Chivas Regal
smoking my expensive
Cuban cigar
driving by the beach
in my red Ferrari
without you
my daydream would be true
and I would be dead
and buried a long time ago
