You burn the ground to hold your position

You ran away if I came too close

You kept track of balance and pressure

All the dreams and desires

I want some more



Red

Black

Green for the jackpot



Take you down

I want to take you down

I want to take you down with me



We had the motion we had the grace

We had a sense of time and place

We wrote the rules and played the game

And it would never be the same

It was the beauty while we played

We played to win but no one did

We grew old we moved ahead

From dance hall days for higher stakes



You spun the wheel to keep my attention

You danced away if I missed a beat

You were queen of present and future

I was king and cavalier

On our tour de force



Red

Black

Green for the jackpot



Take you down

I want to take you down

I want to take you down with me



We had the motion we had the grace

We had a sense of time and place

We wrote the rules and played the game

And it would never be the same

It was the beauty while we played

We played to win but no one did

We grew old we moved ahead

From dance hall days for higher stakes
