Bet Your Life Lyrics

Retired since the 1st of June
He walks into the winning room
His hand sweeps up like a broom
All the coins in the tray
He's been there all day long
His winning streak is never gone

You bet your life it's a long way down from here

His home, the first thing to be sold
She regrets the bank she rolled
All his savings have been dissolved
When he comes home in tears

She feels like she's getting somewhere
When he holds onto her side
She'd like to make one thing clear
It's the sadness inside that she feels

You bet your life it's a long way down from here

With his life completely drained He's on a losing streak again
Until his love is thrown away
The dice won't fall for him today

Sitting lonely on a chair
The bells ring out around him there
He walks outside to take the air
As time slips slowly by
And the tears well up in his eyes
And the bank's about to break

You bet your life there's no more she can take

With his life completely wrecked
He puts the cards back in the deck
Because he loves her more than the pain
The dice might fall for her today

Cos you can bet your life there's no more
Cos you can bet your life there's no more she can take
