You walk out of the darkness you wear a painted on smile
A lifetime in a nightmare, a prison without trial
Chained to an addiction and sentenced to a life
Seducing poor unlucky souls and walking streets at night
When the wheel of fortune spins
There's a chance you'll be a winner
But luck is hard to find and your odds are getting slimmer
Build your dreams around the light keep the faith they will come true
In the darkness there's no paradise your god can give to you
You paint the town when the sun goes down in your idealistic shade
Cashing checks from lonesome wrecks who helped invent your trade
You start the night by a neon light
And the men surround like bees
You know the price you pay is not just today
It's an eternity
When the wheel of fortune spins
There's a chance you'll be a winner
But luck is hard to find and your odds are getting slimmer
Build your dreams around the light keep the faith they will come true
In the darkness there's no paradise your god can give to you
The Wheel of Fortune
Spins you around
A carnival of vertigo that leaves you on the ground
In the end you're where you planned to be
The Wheel of fortune
Absent of a master plan your life's a tragedy
When the wheel of fortune spins
There's a chance you'll be a winner
But luck is hard to find and your odds are getting slimmer
Build your dreams around the light keep the faith they will come true
In the darkness there's no paradise your god can give to you
When the wheel of fortune spins
There's a chance you'll be a winner
But luck is hard to find and your odds are getting slimmer
Build your dreams around the light keep the faith they will come true
In the darkness there's no paradise your god can give to you
