He rolled the dice but they always came up wrong

Chased the rainbows but they never stayed for long

Built his castles high but they crumbled in a night

Every candle that lit only dimmed the light

Every four-leaf clover somehow fell apart

Tried to mend the cracks in his shattered heart

Wished upon a star it just burned out fast

Dreamed of futures but lived in the past

No luck left he’s walking on thin air

Life deals him cards but the deck’s unfair

Every door he pushes always slams shut tight

But he’s still standing in the pale moonlight

He’s got his hands in his empty pockets deep

Counting all the chances he could never keep

Yet his feet keep pacing this uneven ground

Fate may trip him but he won’t stay down

He’s a gambler’s song with no winning note

A ship that’s sinking but still stays afloat

Life dealt him shadows and a stretch of gray

But he’s still running toward another day

No luck left he’s walking on thin air

Life deals him cards but the deck’s unfair

Every door he pushes always slams shut tight

But he’s still standing in the pale moonlight
