lyrics

Greedy jackpot eyes bulge as I feed the devil in the machine
Life tranced out clean, out of control
My wicked habit spirals on a forever never ending downward slope
Slip, slipping sliding. Going, going gone.
Now all I want to do is go into hiding, hoping that a big black hole will appear and swallow me up
Like Billy Goat’s gruff, cos it’s tough
When you’ve just blown your last twenty
When only half an hour ago you had pockets aplenty
But all you’ve got now is jack shit
As reality hits you start free falling, feeling dog sick right to the stomach
You big daft lomach, where you gonna go now? The money man’s dead
Leaving you downright gutted, upright vexed in the head
With nought to zero options, cos you’ve used them all up,
Still laughing the little bastard demon sniggers
As he gives chase burning the last of my angels on stakes
With fucked up odds that are always against you
In a place where only regret counts the cost,
Cos you can’t win what has already been lost.

Slot dropping money for shopping
Slot dropping till you got nothing
Fool and his money are soon parted,
Fool and his money.

Slot dropping
Cos a fool and his money are soon parted,
A fool and his money are soon parted,
Leave you down, we got it
Leave you down, we got it
Slot dropping, money for shopping

Ride home, ride home
