The hammer falls under the neon skies The city lights reflecting in my eyes Roll the dice, a turn of the wheel It's my turn to call If it weren't for hard luck I'd have no luck at all Chorus: Hard luck's got a hold on me I bet against the odds Hard luck's comin' down on me It's in the fall of the cards Hard luck The night's my savior, she keeps me in the dark A bad shot, it seems I've missed the mark Like salt in my wounds It burns me up inside Nowhere to run to now Nowhere to hide Chorus Solo Chorus (Repeat)
