lyrics

The Old Casino

If I am to lose
Well I’m going to lose
I’d rather the old casino
I’d like to be
Where so many others have been before me

I’d like to be
Where you had been
Right where you’d been before me
Where the phillips screws in the brass barstools ache and bend

Stripped of their teeth
And we can barely breathe
But still holding on with our filthy hands
With our losing hands
Just a few more seconds
Just a few more minutes
Just a few more months
By then we can wash all our rent away
By then we can be so far in debt
As to not pull up

If I’m going to lose
I’m always going to lose
To be with you
To the old casino
Let’s go
Let’s go
And that old man all we have
And Give that old man once again
All we have
All we have

If I’m going to lose
I want to with you
go
