I've changed cities
Changed my name a thousand times
A hundred times
been tarred and feathered
I watch out for the signs
Lovers are more changeable than barons
My life it's a game, vices
Cards and poker-chips
If I belief a priest
I'm going to the bottom of hell*
I'm a fly in the window
And it's not my day
And maybe, just maybe or maybe not
Lady Luck will finally
Take me in her arms
And maybe, just maybe or maybe not
I will make the front-page with dice or with kings
And you'll see me live 10 times*
My life is luck
Castles, casinos
I'm tempting the devil
With poker, horse-racing
Every day is new
I only live the beginnings
Gallant kingfish, lots of bluffing
A little bit of shady-dealing on the menu
If that girl comes near
I'll make every number odd
If her chair sways, I'll wait for the river
And maybe, just maybe or maybe not
Lady Luck will finally
Take me in her arms
And maybe yes, maybe this time
I'll make the front page with dice or with kings
And you'll see me live, Alleluia
Oh
And maybe, just maybe, on that morning
That brown-haired girl will act like she knows me
And maybe, just maybe, she'll follow me
By the light of the moon, I have no friend Pierrot
With the bet lost, you're nothing but a pariah
Oh oh
Lady Luck
Oh, take me in your arms
Oh oh
With the bet lose, I'm nothing but a pariah
Oh oh...
