Chance Favors
Chance Favors
Chance favors the mind prepared
Played out in gambling chambers
Positioned for a win as you begin
Glasses Fill with drinks, slots with quarters
Smoke and curses rise and curl away
Pray that voodoo works its magic
Invoke the Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Chant and rub the bunny foot of fate
Line up charms, other goodies on the floor
Stroke and pet them for good luck
Touch the screens repeatedly
Gamble until you drop
Until that bolt of lightning intervenes
Strikes you or hits your lottery
Continue pumping quarters in
Chance loves coins and favors slot machines
