These dice are burning through my hands
A bush fire on my land that I cannot contain
That ember I should not have fanned it
With a thousand one-armed bandits
Betting you'd be back again
It's simple prayer that no one answered
Come back Swaps and Northern Dancer
I will not deal in chance again
Just take me with you
When you round the bend
The booze said 'go on what the heck
Got to play it up the neck' but the king just cut my head
Lady Luck no need to thank her
Lost it all upon an anchor
In a sea of black and red
It's simple prayer that no one answered
Come back Swaps and Northern Dancer
I will not deal in chance again
Just take me with you
When you round the bend
I remember a tinker in my town
Filled my head with downs running horses in my dreams
Now there's one thing that I will agree on
This city choked with neon
It is not what it seems
It's simple prayer that no one answered
Come back Swaps and Northern Dancer
I will not deal in chance again
Just take me with you
When you round the bend

These dice are burning through my hands
A bush fire on my land that I cannot contain
That ember I should not have fanned it
With a thousand one-armed bandits
Betting you'd be back again
It's simple prayer that no one answered
Come back Swaps and Northern Dancer
I will not deal in chance again
Just take me with you
When you round the bend
The booze said 'go on what the heck
Got to play it up the neck' but the king just cut my head
Lady Luck no need to thank her
Lost it all upon an anchor
In a sea of black and red
It's simple prayer that no one answered
Come back Swaps and Northern Dancer
I will not deal in chance again
Just take me with you
When you round the bend
I remember a tinker in my town
Filled my head with downs running horses in my dreams
Now there's one thing that I will agree on

It's simple prayer that no one answered
Come back Swaps and Northern Dancer
I will not deal in chance again
Just take me with you
When you round the bend
