Judie Tzuke - Run on Luck lyrics

I can see the striplights shining all through the town ??? those old jokes looking you up and you down Somebody's son using his old mother's pearls Breaking the hearts of all of the girls Hiding his hand from the man on his right He knows that if he wins They're gonna catch him outside Old man playing his hand hoping to win the next deal His pockets are empty but he's looking to steal ??? behind golden bars They mean to win so you'd better move fast Shouting at the moon and crying at the sun twenty four hours in the sights of a gun Our lives don't mean much if this is all the pleasure that we've got We work all day just to earn a buck and then we stuff it in a machine and we run on luck Our lives don't mean much we turn around what have we got A playground in the dessert 'cause we like it hot Where we take each others money and we run on luck I can hear a siren wailing down in the street It doesn't come to anything, it's just another disease Watching the dice from out of the cuff There in your eyes you're running on luck One dead trick can take it away you make the price and you have to pay Our lives don't mean much if this is all the pleasure that we've got We work all day just to earn a buck and then we stuff it in a machine and we run on luck Our lives don't mean much we turn around what have we got A playground in the dessert 'cause we like it hot Where we take each others money and we run on luck
