I'm stuck here between hope and frustration Keep getting thrown from side to side It's an familiar situation I'm on life's own rollercoasterride See the light at the end of the tunnel Big relief, got it all in sight But things can change within a second And broad daylight turn to the darkest night It's just the same old story I've had enough of trouble But I keep getting more A cold wind blows Well I know just how it goes I've seen it about a million times before Put another coin in the onearmed bandit Buy a ticket from the state lottery Put another coin in the jukebox Lady Luck come dance with me
