#needscollab thought about taking a chance rolling the dice and this sad guy appeared wrapped in the song... Good Prompt,
Lyrics
You’re the House
V I Just a roll of the dice White rice and tics Bones would suffice Shootin’ craps does the trick
You were Dealin’ from the bottom While I’s starin’ at your top My focused brains? I forgot ‘em No way that you'll stop
PC? IDK? You were the dealer Toss me a win just for fun The house, pining heart stealer But Made sure I’s undone
C You’re the house Me a bad gamblin’ man You’re the house I’m not long to stand You’re the house House always wins And I go back to the mirror preacher confessing his sins
Bridge I want it bad, Hope you call it I’m going mad Fingers on my wallet See me so sad Like You grin and then stole it No more dough, so it goes, and I’m undone
C You’re the house Me a bad gamblin’ man You’re the house I’m one not long to stand You’re the house House always wins And I go back to the mirror preacher confessing his sins
V II Here on the table, that would be "bad" God your so hot Could be your dad Ohhhh, why that thought Now a wallet so flacid can’t get up with the blues No coin, cash or plastic
C You’re the house Me a bad gamblin’ man You’re the house I’m one not long to stand You’re the house House always wins And I go back to the mirror preacher confessing his sins

That's a great piece of lyric. Love the line "And I go back to the mirror preacher confessing his sins", among others. Got a good bit of conflict goin' on in there. Well done. Cheers
This is delightful. I love this:
And this:
And I'm not a gambler but I've totally been with a hot guy 20 years younger than me lol. So I'm just chuckling to myself. Highly recommend lol.
