So Close
Argh
So close
So close
I gotta reach my goals
I play and I play as long as it takes for me to get a piece
Day after day, the stakes get higher
Handing in the tickets sure is a workout for my calves (calves)
A short guy like me at the tall counter (woop)
Losses don't count and they make one none the richer
But still, we don't lose heart and keep looking out for the winning numbers (yeah)
I won't give up (yeah)
Until a catch takes the bait (yeah yeah yeah)
A new set of tickets, please
Keep 'em coming until I'm left without a single yen, ah
The scratching is making my joints ache
But I'm someone who acts
No time to rest, the game has started
Argh
So close
So close
My nerves are made of steel
I'm not afraid to take risks
Even if I get my ass beaten by the game
Yeah
So it's all good
For starters I'll bet on some horse races to the rhythm of Toto's Africa
And for dessert I'll have a lottery ticket
No, I don't play in moderation
I double the stakes when I'm running low
The bank employees scold me (yeah)
They all think I'm a moron 'cause I burn cash like a bonfire (yeah yeah yeah)
A new set of tickets, please
Keep 'em coming until I'm left without a single yen, ah
The scratching is making my joints ache
But I'm someone who acts
No time to rest, the game has started
Argh
So close
So (argh) close
Not yet, so close
All in
Not yet, so close
All in
Not yet, so close
Gotta fold, I blew it
So, back to work on Monday (huh)
Oh no
Burnt all my cash to a crisp (no)
My economy sunk like Titanic, ah (no)
Can't even afford glue and tape for a quick fix
But I'll still be back like Arnold and light up a cig (I'll be back)
A new set of tickets, please
Keep 'em coming until I'm left without a single yen, ah
The scratching is making my joints ache
But I'm someone who acts
No time to rest, the game has started
Argh! Cough, sorry, let's take it from the top
Argh
So close
So (argh) close
Not yet, so close
All in
Not yet, so close
All in
Not yet, so close
Gotta fold, I blew it
So, back to work on Monday (huh)
So close
So close
