Gamblers (We Do Not Do That Anymore)
[Verse 1]
Jesus turns a three-cup trick for Johnny
Money going begging, it's a crime
Look at him sweat it in the streetlight
Can he pull it one more time?
The world is crawling with the faithful
Wide-eyed and gamblers to the core
Johnny gets burned, he lights another candle
We do not do that any more

[Chorus]
When I was the patron saint of losers
Strange days came knocking on my door
Now there's better things than heaven
We do not do that anymore
We do not do that anymore

[Verse 2]
Turn another card, it's the acе of bottles
The only star for a drowning man
Floating in a world of spirits
Ever sincе this pain began
Drink steady, call the boys out
Read your fortune on the bar-room floor
The cards don't tell you about the blackouts
We do not do that any more
[Chorus]
When I was the patron saint of losers
Strange days came knocking on my door
Now there's better things than heaven
We do not do that anymore
We do not do that anymore

[Chorus]
When I was the patron saint of losers
Strange days came knocking on my door
Now there's better things than heaven
We do not do that anymore

[Verse 3]
That was the year we got the fever
All the world was running high
Glued by sweat and desperation
We got unhygienic, you and I
You went running to the doctor
Tell me why I feel so sore
He said, it's just a taste for damage
And we do not do that any more

[Chorus]
When I was the patron saint of losers
Strange days came knocking on my door
Now there's better things than heaven
We do not do that anymore
We do not do that anymore
We do not do that anymore
Anymore
