Eugene Mcguinness Vampire Casino
Did your lucky numbers arrive
In the roll of the dice
In the fire of your eyes where there once was love
I heard they kicked you out to the back road
Of the Vampire Casino
Still clutching thirteen chips and spitting blood
You were climbing up a decent din
A scarlet tear-drunk singing
'One day I will make the women throw'
You were dialling up more endless ghosts of your past
But it's left ringing
'Cos they see your name appear when the screen glows
Did you hear the laughs and the gasps
From a cast in the play
You were a hit
You were off-script and in love
It was just two hours to go
Before the Vampire Casino
Took your hat, sat you down and sucked your blood
