Ah Via Fortuna

I placed my bets and lost again

keep backing the wrong horse

Lady Luck crept out of the bed

she's nothing but a cheap whore



The chips I've had since I was a boy

long lost before I became a man

my poker face slapped and destroyed

by a woman with a flash hand



black cards in her fingers fanned

diamond eyes flashed as I ran



Does Duchess Fate have love for me?

does she kiss as the wind speaks?

or will she claw my back until it bleeds

Laughing hard as the claret seeps?



Madame Fortune, when do I turn the tide

Or do the scales keep leaning your way?

Bad Idea making luck your bride

Win or lose, the bitch makes you pay



from now til your dying day

she sweeps up your ashes and blows them away
