Lyrics
One evening I looked up to the sky
I screamed at the empty space inside
I need to know what's going on
One day here and then were gone
The Wheel spins
and the ball dances
When the house wins you loose
We're given our chances
Double zeros
the bells are ringing
Your bet's been made
and the wheel is spinning
Who spins the wheel
and rolls the ball
That's the question
that confronts us all
We all ask why
and whose hand does rule
The answer is lost
in the mind of a fool
The Wheel spins
and the ball dances.
When the house wins you lose
We're given our chances
