Jackpot Stampede Deluxe

Jackpot Stampede Deluxe - Troubled Hubble

There was a stampede into a casino that we went to

Familiar ringing like money was singing

There were old ladies laughing and fat men dancing

So we took our chances and joined in the madness

Then a cocktail waitress spelled out our fate for us

You can stay and drink as long as you'd like

But don't you forget to return to your jobs

I don't work these hours cause I beat the odds

And oh life is so rough money can talk

But it never says enough and I've had enough

There was a jackpot on the last slot

Hearts sank all across the sea of hopeful losers like me

In the sad hue of the red light on an empty wallet kind of night

She was the only thing keeping me alive I bet her birthday

And we were both sure that our luck was changing as black bars lined up

Oh cover me in green felt

Door deal with all I'm dealt and we'll keep each other

Safe from the sharks that surround us here

Oh life is so rough

Money can talk but it never says enough and we've had enough

Oh to win big just once

I swear I know that it would be enough and we've had enough

Had enough

Later that evening the fountains were freezing

The cold wind was stinging my sunburned neck

From days of walking jaws dropping at canyons

And copters that flew around our heads

Lars vegas last places lost energy converges

From outer desert spaces like gasses escaping

Through holes in our layers

Are there holes in our prayers when we pray for ourselves before others

Oh life is so rough

Money can talk but it never says enough and we've had enough

Oh to win big just once

I swear I know that it would be enough and we have had enough
