lyrics

I’m up late at the casino,
And the chips are stacked high,
This is totally fuellin’ my ego,
I’m not gonna lie,
I’m checkin’ the cards -I’ve got in my hand... I'm not gonna fold,
The pressure’s pilling high above me,
But I’m still gonna hold.

Is this beginner's luck?
Or am I just good?
Oh well - the stakes are risin’,
Let’s hope this works!

Next hand is pretty sick,
A 2 of spades and an ace to kick,
This might just break the bank...This hand is the best,
A straight flush with an ace..That’ll do for sure.
All the bets are locked in,
That’s the win secured.

Is this beginner's luck?
Or am I just good?
Oh well - the stakes are risin’,
Let’s hope this works!

These poor sods...Don’t know what hit em,
Their lives are ruined,
And I’m on a mission,
I won it all in cold blood,
It’s all for my own good,
Anyway - I don’t care,
Life just isn’t fair.

Is this beginner's luck?
Or am I just good?
Oh well - the stakes are risin’,
Let’s hope this works!
