Mark O'Connor Band - Casino Lyrics

Like a coin
I was tossed into a wishing fountain
I was only one of a thousand
Looking for a little fortune

And you,
Picked me up and put me into your pocket
Nothing I could do to stop it
It started out full of promise

The shimmer of the shine that I'd never seen before

Bright lights
I was taken in by the spotlight
Coming from the stare of your wanting eyes
Like a Vegas green glow

Grasping, wishing I could roll the dice again
You can bet on love but you can't win
A heart is like the money you blow
(Casino)

(Casino)

Worthless
I didn't even know I was losing
I was just a card you were using
A trick that you were good at playing

Oh and luck
Didn't build the Monte Carlo
Just like love never promised tomorrow
You were only looking to borrow

And I thought I had the chance but I gave it away

Bright lights
I was taken in by the spotlight
Coming from the stare of your wanting eyes
Like a Vegas green glow

Grasping, wishing I could roll the dice again
You can bet on love, but you can't win
A heart is like the money you blow
(Casino)
Casino
(Casino)

Ooh-Ooh-Whoa

Bright lights
I was taken in by the spotlight
Coming from the stare of your wanting eyes
Like a Vegas green glow

Grasping, wishing I could roll the dice again
You can bet on love but you can't win
A heart is like the money you blow
(Casino)
Casino
(Casino)

Ooh-Ooh-Whoa

A heart is like the money you blow
