Dead Money

Too much time down at the Choctaw
I'm livin' in a gambler's ruin
I've been dime betting on blackjack
Hittin' like a pigeon would
Slow roller gettin' hot but it wont be jackpot anytime soon
So load up on the layout and lay the odds down
Throw some paint on the river
Never gunna win with a kicker
All these spinners gunna see that i've been bluffin'
And I know it's way too late for me to be runnin'
I'm dead money
Everybody feelin' flushed at the roulette
Eyes redder than a thirty-two
I'm slowly losing chips;
Getting pissed at the luck of a newcomer's honeymoon
Smooth mechanic
Cuttin' deals with the grease of a hard count crew trying to win
I was almost out the door
Until the sound of a slot reel pulled me back in
Throw some paint on the river
Never gunna win with a kicker
All these spinners gunna see that i've been bluffin'
And I know it's way too late for me to be runnin'
I'm dead money
(Yeah)
I'm dead (money)
(Money)
(Money)
I was coming to the end with a sawbuck and a skin lookin' for a seven
And i rolled that dice; it's a deuce and a five
And here I go again
Throw some paint on the river
Never gunna win with a kicker
All these spinners gunna see that i've been bluffin'
And I know it's way too late for me to be runnin'
I'm dead money
