We set our money on the table
We have nothing left to lose
Our chances are slim
So many moving parts to this game
If only it weren't a gamble
Could we see it as an investment?
Maybe it won't be worth it
Maybe in the end it will all be for nothing

All bets are off
The other player lays their money on the table
They said "if you lose, then there's no point in me winning either."
They wish to split even
On a gamble we both took.

Can't this be an investment?
It was so hard just to knock on the door
And now we wait to see if we can get our foot in
Our teeth chatter.
We anxiously
Wait for the dealer
To
roll
the
ball.
