Neon hums like a distant prayer
Fingers twitch, the cards never care
The river runs, but won't flow back
Roll the bones
Bet it all on black
Glass-eyed man in a velvet seat
Empty hands tappin'-a restless beat
He said "Fortune's ghost never leaves the back
You better roll the bones and bet it all on black"
I just might
I just might
The table's cold, but the stakes are hot
Luck turns quick when you lose the plot
No one asked, no one could track
Roll the bones
Bet it all on black
Fingers trace the edge of his fate
That final hand was a second too late
No promise now, no welcome back
You rolled the bones and bet it all on black
