lyrics

Fortuna

You have my Love
My devotion
I can promise both the sky and the ocean
The motors running and the wheels are in motion
It’s an itch that needs a soothing sort of lotion

The Second chance
A third maybe
The keys the lease and the bank account baby
I leave it all with the the croupier lady
Clubs, diamonds over hearts or spades maybe

Fevers gone but I’m still burning
Count off the minutes as I feel my luck is turning
The sky is red and sea it is churning
Thought I’d quit but now I’m just returning





See how quickly numbers fall
In technicolor with spinning balls
Over ice and make it a tall
The golden calf is the sirens call


I’m chasing snakes up and down the ladder
The pole is greasy the house is getting fatter
The lights are bright my thoughts are now scattered
Night or day time it doesn’t matter

Meet my new friend name of China White
Down from Hainan and underneath the lights
Her face betrays a life of pain and strife
She needs a reset a different sort of lie

Dressed in red and gold
silver chain with dragon
She whispers in my ear
Luck it has no pattern
The perfume’s sweet
Against the skin and satin
Just another chance
Placate the gods of mammon

Watch the pretty numbers fall
In fields of baize the dealers call
Straight up and make it tall
Fortuna bless all the coloured balls

In a moment fate will call
Through dice and numbers, spinning balls
Over ice and make it tall
Fortuna bless me count the score
