Gambling Bill

First I thought he was doing really great
‘Cause he got a little sun and he lost a little weight
His beard’s gone gray but his hair is thin
He said his stocks are going down but his team is winning
His suit’s pretty sharp but it needs to be cleaned
His fingernails are dirty and they’re stained with nicotine
He’s lost his breath and he’s looking around to find it
Clearing his throat as if it might remind him

Gambling Bill
Bet it all on thirteen
The winner takes all
And the dealer has a queen

He’s all invested in Internet companies
But there isn’t any interest so there isn’t any money
He’s sleeping in the park and taking LRTs
Getting all jacked up on coffee and smoking like a fiend
He’s lost his breath and he’s looking around to find it
Making gruesome gestures to whoever is behind him
Laying his head on his elbow for a dream
Waking in a dreadful disposition on a guillotine

Gambling Bill
Took financial advice
From the fool on the hill
Who said, “Play it on the dice.”
Now he’s ready to roll
Over the hill
It’s a long way down
But he hasn’t hit the bottom yet

So Art Deco dumbwaiters go down to the cellars underground
From high rise skyscrapers and down to the low-lying parts of town
From high priced penthouses down to the brown stones boarded up
Gold-plated elevators go down to the dumps with the useless junk
