I've been poker on the sidewalk and stars It's not the hand you're dealt It's the way you play the cards One more roll of the dice ain't gonna hurt tonight So I disregard the warning And it hurts me in the morning
This fire has a funny tune It rattles in my bones Sleepin' comes inside a pill And I wake up alone One more bottle o' wine ain't gonna hurt tonight So I disregard the warning And it hurts me in the morning
Oh my soul is pointed starboard And my ship is made of cardboard It's soggy and it's sinking It's a good thing I like drinking
La, la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la
La, la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la
I dreamt about the tarot And your name was in the spread And as I pulled the joker The Romani woman said "If you wanna dance with gypsies Then you'll have to dance all night" I laughed about her warning And we danced until the morning Yes I laughed about her warning And we danced until the morning
If your soul is pointed starboard And the ship is made of cardboard It's gonna end up sinking So you better practice drinking
La, la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la
(X4)
If your soul is pointed starboard And the ship is made of cardboard It's gonna end up sinking So you better practice drinking
If the moon is in the waxing You can cast your incantation But if she's in the waning Then you're better off just waiting Ain't gonna do you no good to go wishing on a satellite
If you don't heed the warning It will hurt you in the morning If you don't heed the warning It will hurt you in the morning
