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)
