On The Black Lyrics

I'm a boy from out of town, looking for some fun

I can hear it from the sidewalk, it's begging me to come

Show me where and tell me how I can win some money

All is good and all is well in this land of milk and honey

You can play the game boy, but put it all on the black

Spin the wheel and pray boy, you'll never get your money back

Maybe I'm just an innocent boy, there's much I've never tried

So lead me, teach me, show me, all I feel inside

Take me to the heavens, take me back again, show me the love inside yourself

And assure me it won't end

You've stepped into the pleasure house, and we know why you're here

Lie back son and take your ease, while she whispers in your ear

Just when I thought I knew it all, life taught me a lesson

I thought I was a clever boy, who'd rise above his station

But now I find I'm just a fool, still wet behind the ears

But I can't help but try again, while fighting back the tears

Don't play safe, just let it go, sink into the pleasure

Soak it up that godless feel, this joy won't last forever

Think on son, what have you done, fritted your youth away

Spend in haste, repent at leisure, ain't that what you hear them say
