El Apostador

I feel it
Today’s the day that’s gonna change my life.
I need to pull the trigger
To make the cash I need to place my bets.
Pawn shop,
I’m gonna hock my stuff,
I tie my life to a coin
That spins in the air to make a situation,
Break out of the routine and find something better.
I’m sure today I’m gonna win,
But I remember the past
And I don’t want to screw it up.
Facing the numbers on the board
Everything’s so tight, what a tough call.
I finish a cigarette, light another one quick.
I head to the cashier who greets me with a smile.
Digital sweat from my mental state,
I’m not too sure but I’m gonna bet.

I’ve had it all, I’ve lost it all,
I need something to help me breathe.
I’ve had it all, I’ve lost it all,
I need something to help me breathe.

I walk into the casino to check what fate
Has in store for me, it’s like a coin toss.
Bets are spinning, the vibe stinks,
And I’m here with my dream of hitting a million.
With all I owe, I’m being chased.
My wife, her lawyer, and her friends are on my tail.
With just five bucks in my pocket,
I gotta watch out for the traps they set for me.
(They set for me, they set for me)
I gotta watch out for the traps they set for me.

A general overview of what could happen to you,
A general overview of what could happen to you.

I start winning, I’m getting hyped.
This is such a thrill and it’s the only thing I know how to do.
The stakes are rising, luck’s on my side.
I need more cash to feel even better.
Suddenly my dream starts crumbling,
Everything I have has flown away.
Once again I find myself with not a single dime,
I don’t know why it surprises me since this is how I always end up...

I’ve had it all, I’ve lost it all,
I need something to help me breathe.
I’ve had it all, I’ve lost it all,
I need something to help me breathe.
I’ve had it all, I’ve lost it all,
I need something to help me breathe.
