Slot Machine Songtext

von Steve Hackett

Would the lady care to dance?
Oh yes, I'd love to ....

Got to reach Atlantic City,
I'm a winner every day
Blackjack holds no attraction
There's just one game I play
Get a grip on a handle of steel
Pull slowly and watch the wheels

When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine

It's too tough, choke back the anger
A black fever takes a hold on me
I play rough, don't feel the danger
Won't give barely nothing for free
I know the number I'm dreaming of
It's just a symbol; a matter of love

When you play with a slot machine
Don't you know you're playing with my heart?
When you play with a slot machine
You know you're going to tear it apart

Stay cool, hold yourself together
Keep praying that your luck's gonna turn
Don't be a fool! Don't stay forever
You know you're going to get burned!

When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine

When you play with a slot machine
Don't you know you're playing with my heart?
When you play with a slot machine

When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine

Drat! I've torn my dress!
Oh really, look!
