lyrics

The Gambler’s Suite

Morgan Stick was a professional winner who’d lose from time to time; deliberately
Through some hard times and some molehill mountains emerge the other side; triumphantly and when he did badly he did very well, and when he did well they cried, and mumbled softly, One day Morgan in his finite wisdom will fall off the winning side.

I’ll take the Gambler’s suite it’s on the 14th floor
But I don’t want it known that I am here at all
For there are those feel that I should be betrayed
and you can’t be too careful these days…

Drowning headfirst in my own just deserts I’ve had a bellyful (So sick of it)
An old dog barking at the futures market, devoid of dignity (Be rid of it)
I want to so badly I’d do anything, but ego has grabbed the key (I swallowed it)
Come storm this palace where a lonely tsar is unable to walk free.

Come take the Gambler’s suite, it’s on the 14th floor
We’ll change the locks ad put your name upon the door
and that will be the price that you will have to pay
And you cant be too careful these days.
