The Luck Of The Draw Lyrics

THE LUCK OF THE DRAW

The cards are on the table

With a deck by Mr. Waite

And the pattern is arranged

And the future looks so strange

And I think that things are gonna change tonight

When I look into the distance

I can see things from the past

All my friends out on the edge

Who got blown right off the ledge

And it seems like nothing's really gonna last

Is it the luck of the draw, is it a spin of the wheel

Are we all really dreams, and is that why it seems

That our destinies are surreal

Is it a flick of the cards, is it a masterful plan

Are we projects of art that began at the start

From some strange and unknowable hand

Is it as random as chance, or some immutable law

Is it a spin of the wheel, as we all sometimes feel

Is it the luck of the draw

There was a friend I once knew

Not so different then than me

But he made some different choices

And he filled his veins with poisions

Now he's someone that I'm never gonna see

And I think of all the paths here

And the ones I didn't take

Did I make the wrong decisions

Were they bad presuppositions

Or does it really just come down to fate

Is it the luck of the draw, is it a spin of the wheel

Are we all really dreams, and is that why it seems

That our destinies are surreal

Is it a flick of the cards, is it a masterful plan

Are we projects of art that began at the start

From some strange and unknowable hand

Is it as random as chance, or some immutable law

Is it a spin of the wheel, as we all sometimes feel

Is it the luck of the draw
