The Turn Of A Friendly Card

There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
And a wheel in perpetual motion
And they followed there races and pay out the gains

when your whole world depends
on the turn of a friendly card.
No, the game never ends
when your whole world depends
on the turn of a friendly card.

There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
where you can't tell the night from the sunrise.
And not all the king's horses and all the king's men,

For they think it will make their lives easier,
and God knows up till now it's been hard.
But the game never ends
when your whole world depends
on the turn of a friendly card.
No, the game never ends
when your whole world depends
on the turn of a friendly card.
