In the casino, I wasn’t gambling
I knew I was going to lose.
I walked forever, but I wasn’t rambling.
I was just trying on some shoes.
I met a teller she told me a fortune.
She knew I might not have any.
But 2.22 is exactly what I was down to.
Two dollars, two dimes and two pennies.
CHORUS
Thank you life for the light I’m given.
Thank you light for the life I’m living.
Now I got my soda pop. I got my lighter.
I got my pink bubblegum.
I got a hot mama, be lying beside her
when all is said and done.
Can’t wait to get there but first I gotta go too far.
It’s hard work work playing the fool.
I know a shortcut, but it’s through the graveyard.
Thank God, the moon is full.
CHORUS
You’ll never find it unless you’re looking.
It might be right before your eyes.
Give it a try, but don’t try too hard.
You might become addicted to your sighs.
And friends might avoid you and strangers might stare.
You gotta do what you Gotta do.
I’m just telling you it gets weird out there.
CHORUS
