The cards are dealt, the bids are in

The faces, poker straight

The air is full of smoke and sweat

The men are full of hate

Rest your tired bones, my friend

The game is nearly done

However much you might regret

In life, you've had your run

Start your engines, gentlemen

There's not much time to wait

Remember there's no going back

Once we open up the gate

Rest your tired bones, my friend

The game is nearly done

However much you might regret

In life, you've had your run

The stakes are high, the moon is up

The drinks are flowing free

They've bet on all the horses

Now they can only wait and see

Rest your tired bones, my friend

The game is nearly done

However much you might regret

In life, you've had your run

Yes, in life, you've had your run
