Money Can Kill

He's on the green baize sunglasses on
Ace in the hole he's just twenty-one
He's cashing out as the next hand begins
He's got enough just to get by

All in a night's work all that he knows
The cigarette smoke still in his clothes
He looks so delighted counting the bills
More than enough just to get by

Some people do it for the hell of it
And some are in it to win
And some people lose everything they got
Just to do it all over again

They say you can not buy a thrill
But you can get in a pill
Any colour you like
Red, black and blue dynamite
Gonna take you on a wild ride
And sometimes money can kill

Money can kill

Head honcho grabs me and says with a grin
Boy in the end know the house always wins
I'll set it up you just be there on time
Ain't gonna wait till we run dry

They say you can not buy a thrill
But you can get in a pill
Any colour you like
Red, black and blue dynamite
Gonna take you on a wild ride
(Take you on a wild ride)

I'm in my car parked fifth street and high
Inside that dive bar the game of his life
Saturday-night-special cool to the touch
No he won't be cashing out tonight

They say you can not buy a thrill
But you can get in a pill
Any colour you like
Red, black and blue dynamite
Gonna take you on a wild, wild ride
Money can kill
Money can kill
Red, black and blue dynamite
Gonna take you on a wild, wild ride
Take you on a wild ride
And sometimes money can kill
