I've been poker on the sidewalk and stars
It's not the hand you're dealt
It's the way you play the cards
One more roll of the dice ain't gonna hurt tonight
So I disregard the warning
And it hurts me in the morning
This fire has a funny tune
It rattles in my bones
Sleepin' comes inside a pill
And I wake up alone
One more bottle o' wine ain't gonna hurt tonight
So I disregard the warning
And it hurts me in the morning
Oh my soul is pointed starboard
And my ship is made of cardboard
It's soggy and it's sinking
It's a good thing I like drinking
La, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
I dreamt about the tarot
And your name was in the spread
And as I pulled the joker
The Romani woman said
"If you wanna dance with gypsies
Then you'll have to dance all night"
I laughed about her warning
And we danced until the morning
Yes I laughed about her warning
And we danced until the morning
If your soul is pointed starboard
And the ship is made of cardboard
It's gonna end up sinking
So you better practice drinking
La, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
(X4)
If your soul is pointed starboard
And the ship is made of cardboard
It's gonna end up sinking
So you better practice drinking
If the moon is in the waxing
You can cast your incantation
But if she's in the waning
Then you're better off just waiting
Ain't gonna do you no good to go Wishing on a Satellite
If you don't heed the warning
It will hurt you in the morning
If you don't heed the warning
It will hurt you in the morning
