Slot Machine Lyrics by Steve Hackett

Broken Skies - Outspread Wings

2000

Gotta reach Atlantic City
I'm a winner every day
Blackjack holds no attraction
Just one game I play

Get a grip on the handle of steel
Pull slowly, watch the wheels

When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine

It's too tough, don't bank the anger
A black fever takes ahold on me
I play rough, don't feel the danger
Won't give, baby, nothing for free

I know the number I'm dreaming of
It's just a symbol, a matter of luck

When you play with a slot machine
Don't you know you play with my heart?
When you play with a slot machine
You're gonna tear it apart
When you play with a slot machine

Stay cool, hold yourself together
Keep praying that your luck's gonna turn
Don't be a fool, don't stay forever
You know you're gonna get burned

When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine
Don't you know you play with my heart?
When you play with a slot machine, oh no no

When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine
When you play with a slot machine
