I started off as a decent man one day But now I seem to live my life in a most peculiar way From 9 to 5 I'm a usefull member of society Nothing about me would tell you that I Spend every night all dressed up in style Playing roulette with a superior smile Losing my luck and looks I roll the dice Expensive dreams That's why I'm living far beyond my means I'm total loss, totall loss You think I easily fly, but I'm ready ready ready to crash Total loss, total loss I've been going to high, I've paid the price for making a splash I'm desperately in need of some cash
Driven by the money I could make Being close to fortune I just put too much at stake Expecting things to change, ah, but the worst was yet to come Sold all I had but couldn't give up playing I lost my conscience years ago Telling myself that the final blow Would bring me back where I began A gambling man But one who's really at his wits end Total loss... Creditors constantly claiming More than I ever could raise This mess I'm in, it's degrading I can't afford a proper meal Can you imagine how I feel Total loss..
