The loser stands
The dealer wins
Keep me away
From Smilin’ Jim’s

Her heart is hard
Her eyes are bright
I want to be
With her tonight

But it’s not right
And it’s a sin
The snakes are out
Let hell begin

Through frosted panes
And candlelight
I watch for her
And wait all night

She’s not here
And I’m not there
But Dr. Seuss
Is everywhere

In my brain
And in the rain
And maybe even
On a train

It’s enough to make me hesitate
Before I hyperventilate
It’s all things gold
It’s all things great
Like totally solid state

Before you pontificate
Allow me please to elevate
The conversation
From its gutter fate
Just don’t be too late

My world is in duress
I’m speeding fast to her caress
It’s such a thrill, it’s such a mess
I’m cursed and I’m blessed

Hello Skinny, step inside
Put me down for another ride
Pass the pleasure, push the pain
Do I really have to explain?

Why am I going down this road?
After all that I’ve been told?
It’s just another dead end trip
Another drink and let it rip

The loser stands
The dealer wins
Another night
At Smilin’ Jim’s

Her heart is hard
Her eyes are bright
I am here
With her tonight

But it’s not right
And it’s a sin
The snakes are out
Let hell begin

Through bleary eyes
And curling smoke
I see her laugh
And tell a joke

And I’m the joke
And I’m aware
That Dr. Seuss
Is everywhere

In my brain
And in the rain
And maybe even
On a train

It’s enough to make me hesitate
Before I hyperventilate
It’s all things gold
It’s all things great
Like totally solid state

Before you pontificate
Allow me please to elevate
The conversation
From its gutter fate
Just don’t be too late
