《The Gambler》歌词

[00:00:00] The Gambler (赌徒) - Marc Almond
[00:00:04] On a dark night in a lost hour
[00:00:08] In a town built from neon and chrome
[00:00:12] Where Las Vegas seeks the desert
[00:00:16] In an old broken down casino
[00:00:20] There the gambler slapped his money down
[00:00:24] Dirty dollars one hundred or more
[00:00:29] Placed his last bet on a poker game
[00:00:33] Crossed his heart for the winning score
[00:00:39] But the players at the table
[00:00:43] Two men of the phantom creed
[00:00:47] Seemed to play with sombre purpose
[00:00:52] Than a reason and pure greed
[00:00:55] And the gambler felt his back freeze
[00:01:00] And fear brushed his ageing brow
[00:01:04] For he'd seen those men before in his dreams
[00:01:08] Here they sat before him now
[00:01:14] And the one smoothed back his black hair
[00:01:17] With a comb slicked by brylcream and grease
[00:01:20] Flipped the cards with a flippancy
[00:01:23] Of a wily and slippery ease
[00:01:26] With his sharp suit shade of lilac
[00:01:29] On a shuffle he made the cards sing
[00:01:32] Gold studs and menthol cigarettes
[00:01:36] Rubies set in a skull ring
[00:01:39] And the other of the clergy
[00:01:43] With a colour and robe of pale ivory
[00:01:47] Silver grey at the temples
[00:01:51] And a smile that was stern and was kindly
[00:02:04] Jack of hearts lead wait for aces
[00:02:08] Became faces of family and friends
[00:02:12] Until the deck showed him a picture
[00:02:16] Of his life from beginning to end
[00:02:20] Reverend Life he flipped an ace
[00:02:24] And the gambler felt blood in his heart
[00:02:29] For he knew this was the game of games
[00:02:33] He would need all the Reverend's heart
[00:02:39] Anger lust and gluttony
[00:02:41] The gambler seems hit hard
[00:02:45] Each failure and each feature
[00:02:48] Mapped out in the slippery cards
[00:02:51] Greasy Mr D flashed a winning grin
[00:02:54] And stood facing Reverend Life
[00:02:57] The Reverend paled as he saw the score
[00:03:00] The gambler felt pain as a knife
[00:03:03] His troubles tribulations
[00:03:06] Revelations and regrets
[00:03:09] A wife a child a fight to trial
[00:03:12] Turned by the hand of death
[00:03:15] And the gambler saw his hand stained
[00:03:18] With the blood of his family ties
[00:03:20] And with the yellow smile of Mr D
[00:03:24] In his mind he crumples and dies
[00:03:44] And these two great men from different worlds
[00:03:48] Faced each other and shook of hands
[00:03:51] The reverend shrugged "ah well next time"
[00:03:56] And departed for heaven's land
[00:04:00] And the flames leapt and the soul screamed
[00:04:04] And the cards scattered round the room
[00:04:08] And life is always a gamble
[00:04:12] A game from the cradle to tomb
[00:04:16] And the flames leapt and the soul screamed
[00:04:19] And the cards scattered round the room
[00:04:22] And life is always a gamble
[00:04:25] A game from the cradle to tomb
[00:04:28] And the flames leapt and the soul screamed
[00:04:32] And the cards scattered round the room
[00:04:35] And life is always a gamble
[00:04:38] A game from the cradle to tomb
