Can't you see
That I am a gambling man
I'll lose it all
But get it back again
Believe me
Nothing's free
I've done some things
And I'm not very proud
Life finds a way
To kick you when you're down
Bring me fame
Bring me fortune
Or bring me nothing at all
Stack the odds up against me
I'm best when my backs to the wall
Pride comes before the fall
Highest highs
And the lowest of lows
Some nights all you do is win
Some nights God only knows
Bring me fame
Bring me fortune
Or bring me nothing at all
Stack the odds up against me
I'm best when my backs to the wall
Bring me fame
Bring me fortune
Or bring me nothing at all
Stack the odds up against me
I'm best when my backs to the wall
Pride comes before the fall
Dear all heavenly fathers and virgin mothers
All gods and goddesses
Golden statues and spirits from beyond
I stand before you a desperate man
So guide my hand
Be the trick up my sleeve
Forgive me for all my sins
Don't shut me out
Deal me in
Bring me fame
Bring me fortune
Or bring me nothing at all
Stack the odds up against me
I'm best when my backs to the wall
Bring me fame
Bring me fortune
Or bring me nothing at all
Stack the odds up against me
I'm best when my backs to the wall
Pride comes before the fall
