Fortune smiles upon me now
I'm having a lot of good luck
Plenty of cash and plenty of booze
I'm on my own and it seems I just can't lose
Without you I'm winning
At pinball and poker
I'm charming the ladies
A regular joker
But it's a hollow victory
When you walked out the door
I swore that I would die a pauper
The very next day the mailman came
I won 1st prize in the local lottery
I can't put a foot wrong
There's nothing can stop me
Life used to mean struggle
But now it's so empty
It's a hollow victory
Why does my life seem so absurd?
I don't understand a single word
I'm losing the nerve
And I've lost my grip
I'm staking my life on the coins that I flip
Without you I'm winning
At pinball and poker
I'm charming the ladies
A regular joker
I can't put a foot wrong
There's nothing can stop me
Life used to mean struggle
But now it's so empty
It's a hollow victory
Hollow victory
Hollow victory
Hollow victory
Hollow victory
Hollow victory
