that dangerous work

and it's dangerous work
getting through that
muck and mire
to try my luck
at another hand
in your games

your games shame me
turn me into the fool
you know me as
and all i can whisper
as I lose another hand
is there any way to win?

and it's dangerous work
getting through that
muck and mire
to try my hand
at another hand
in your games

the seas
are quite too cool
but at least
they don't lie to me.
