Black on Black

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Rolled in with a wristwatch glow Room key cold in my hand You said, "Boy, don't lose your nerve" I said, "Baby, watch me stand" I left my suit on the bed Kept my lucky ring on tight Two dice in my jacket pocket And a grin too sharp for night [Pre-Chorus] The dealer's calling my name The felt looks like a dare Your heel taps out the warning But I don't even care [Chorus] All on black, all on black (black, black) Spin it fast, bring it back (back, back) If I fall, I fall clean Right where the velvet seams All on black, all on black (black, black) [Verse 2] Neon burns through the smoke Glass trays full of ice and gin I watched that wheel turn slow Like it knew how bad I win You laughed, said, "One more hand" I kissed your lucky ear If the cards won't kiss me back Then I'll disappear right here [Pre-Chorus] The dealer's calling my name The whole room leans and stares Your hand slips through mine Like a spark in open air [Chorus] All on black, all on black (black, black) Spin it fast, bring it back (back, back) If I fall, I fall clean Right where the velvet seams All on black, all on black (black, black) [Bridge] One stack left, one breath left Your eyes say stay or run The wheel hums like a heartbeat And I don't owe it none [Final Chorus] All on black, all on black (black, black) Spin it fast, bring it back (back, back) If I fall, I fall clean Right where the velvet seams All on black, all on black (black, black)
