about

As ever, Chris had Elvis in mind here.

lyrics

There's no gambling
Nobody's taking a chance
Every night
I'm always dancing the same dance
For heaven's sakes, casino show
That taking risks is a no-go
There's no gambling
There's no dice to throw

There's no gambling
Nobody's showing their cards
They may hold all the aces
But I know they've no hearts
The dealer says it's in the deal
But that don't make it real
There's no gambling
They won't let me spin the wheel

There's no gambling
The stakes are never raised
The pulse never quickens
Only my rage
When I'm up there on that stage
I might as well be in a cage
There's no gambling
Just this malaise

Sing a song for boredom
The drinks are all on me
I'll be here all night long
won't you keep me company?

There's no gambling
The whole game is a bluff
In time the tables will turn
The crowd will cry ENOUGH!
It's a circle, a hamster wheel
There's no edges for you to feel
and no gambling
That is the deal
