Sweet Dempsey waiting on a number

Cups his sweating hands around dice and blows

Breathes his reeking trust on tumbling bones

In love with the air around a hundred thousand bad throws

All nerve and no brain

All nerve, no brain

It's jackpot plus in which he trusts

Someday I-

Someday I-

Sweet baby sucking on a number

Sweet Dempsey gladly trips switch after switch

He can feel himself drain out through his fingertips

Uneasy union, the conception of a near miss

All nerve and no brain

All nerve, no brain

It's jackpot plus in which he trusts

Someday I-

Someday I-

Keep dropping it in cool on the machine

Keep dropping it in, dropping it in

Dropping it in

Someday I-

Someday I-

Someday I-
