Dory Previn - The Game lyrics

i watch the game aware of tricks i do not want to see i do not want to see a card is palmed the bets are placed the loaded dice make three and no one sees but me does no one see but me? the roulette wheel goes round and round and stops a bit too short it's made to stop too short it's built to stop too short the chips are down the croupier laughs and calls a cheated player sport he laughs and calls him sport and the sport laughs with him the sport laughs with him there are no clocks upon the gilded walls the drapes are drawn in everlasting night "we never close" the neon light blinks at the sky "we run an honest house" the advertisements lie for i have chanced to glimpse behind the imitation antique mirror and i have seen the pupil of the boss's spying eye pontius pilate's soldiers gambled at the bottom of the cross even his ragged robe was lost so would you kinda care to tell me boss what chance have we? what chance have we? would you kinda care to tell me boss? i watch the game and if i play i know i'll go for broke it must be go for broke the game is fixed it's just a funny foolish never ending joke a never ending joke
