SERIOUS

(A.Cooper - B.Taupin - D.Foster - S.Lukather)




When I'm...
Get my time at the track
And I played and I played
And I played and I
Was shootin' the craps
At the back of their jacks
Come on, pay me, Jake
I'm a Las Vegas dreamer
They took to the cleaners
For fair...take

A fish on a hook
I was rattled and shook
'Cause I lost my stake
I took that serious

All of my life
Was a laugh and a joke
(And) A drink (and) a smoke
And then I passed out on the floor
Again and again
and again and again and again

I'm gamblin' fool
With a roll and a cue
Wanna play, wanna play
Wanna play with you
Put my ass on the line
Rub my nose in the grime
And they picked me clean
The chance and the game
Drove old silky insane
What a pain, what a shame
Double frame it was

A fish on a hook
I was rattled and shook
'Cause I lost my stake
I took that serious

All of my life
Was a laugh and a joke
(And) A drink (and) a smoke
And then I passed out on the floor
Again and again
and again and again and again

Serious, it was serious
Oh so serious
Serious, it was serious
Oh so serious

All of my life
Was a laugh and a joke
(And) A drink (and) a smoke
And then I passed out on the floor
Again and again
and again and again and again

All of my life
Was a laugh and a joke
(And) A drink (and) a smoke
And then I passed out on the floor
Again and again
and again and again and again

And again and again and again
And again and again and again
And again and again
