Too Many Entertainments

notes:
There was a fight to the death
Amongst other games
Seems the crowd was primed
Take it down in flames
Watch it go up in smoke
Come apart at the seams
See it’s no joke
It’s like a bad dream
I’m a gambler with too many entertainments
A rambler with not a penny for a debt payment
And if I don’t pay back the bank today, they say it’s a crime
Too many entertainments and not enough time
I went down to the Red Light
To see the Devil trading souls
He said I played a game of chance
Scored on my own goal
He said I could do a little dance
Maybe win back my trunk
He laughed and said ask Peter to climb atop Paul
Maybe they pull you up out of your funk
Oh, gambler with too many entertainments
A rambler without a penny for a debt payment
And if I don’t pay back the bank today, they say it’s a crime
Too many entertainments and not enough time
Hand out on the boulevard
Lost the proceeds to the lotto
My spiral going viral
Person non-grata at the grotto
Sinking lower and lower
Lower than a low-down dog
Played away the high life
For sleeping in a hollow log
Oh, gambler with too many entertainments
A rambler without a penny for a debt payment
And if I don’t pay back the bank today, they say it’s a crime
Too many entertainments and not enough time
Oh, I’m a gambler and a rambler
Headed for involuntary containment
Hey banker, the money is already spent
Too many entertainments
And not enough time
Too many entertainments
It’s where I spent all my time
