Track Insight / Lyrics

Picked up a gambler at the curb downtown His pockets heavy with a losing sound He stared at nothing through the passenger side Dawn cracked the sky where the highway died House always wins before the dice hit felt House always wins before the cards are dealt You chase the horizon through the mist and grime But the dealer counts your chips one last time House always wins that's the only law He tossed a token on the vinyl seat Said luck's a lady but she plays to cheat The wipers slapped a rhythm on the glass Each swipe a prayer for the ones who pass House always wins before the dice hit felt House always wins before the cards are dealt You chase the horizon through the mist and grime But the dealer counts your chips one last time House always wins that's the only law Pit boss watches from a mirrored cage Every hand dealt writes another page My meter runs no matter win or lose The road don't care whose pockets the house will choose House always wins before the dice hit felt House always wins before the cards are dealt You chase the horizon through the mist and grime But the dealer counts your chips one last time House always wins that's the only law Signs bleed into the morning white Chips turn to dust in the harsh daylight I've driven thousands to that velvet rope None ride back with pockets full of hope Now the passenger door clicks shut again Another fool walks in to meet his end I shift to drive the engine coughs and groans The casino keeps the flesh I take the bones House always wins before the dice hit felt House always wins before the cards are dealt You chase the horizon through the mist and grime But the dealer counts your chips one last time House always wins that's the only law House always wins watch the final card fall Meter clicks cold at four AM Rain writes lines on dirty glass
