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
