Alan suggested that it could be country. So I tried. Lyrics V1An old man looked into my eyes And said something about his grandson Something about stars on his shouldersSomething about every boy’s dream PRECH I looked into his eyes and thought about CHAdrenaline and nicotine of games and racesThe thrill of play, the thrill of fallI toss the dice in a lucky rollI have my fate under control I’ve got the aces!I’ve got the aces!V2The old man cried and paid for my drinkHe said something about scarsSomething about skeletons on the fieldConcealed and unfound, with missing lipsPRECH I thanked him for my drink and thought about CHHow greedy grins distort excited plastic facesThe thrill of play, the thrill of fall I toss the dice in a lucky rollI have my fate under control I’ve got the aces!I’ve got the aces!BRIDGE The old man asked me about my lifeThe legless veteran talked about his legacy Something about Marine or marrying He was drunk and I walked away PRECH Because all I could think that day was CHThe toxic temple in the web of gambling places The thrill of game, the thrill of fall I toss the dice in a lucky roll I have my fate under control I’ve got the aces!I’ve got the aces!CHThe toxic temple in the web of gambling places The thrill of game, the thrill of fall I toss the dice in a lucky roll I have my fate under control I’ve got the aces!I’ve got the aces!
