I was up all night again
The stakes were flying high
,You can get always what you want´
They tell you, but it’s just a lie
I spent my life with gambling,
Cigarettes and booze
But I learned just another
Of one million ways to loose

And now the game is over and the money’s all gone
And I'm sitting here and waiting for the sun
With all those promises broken and the rights all wrong
I'm sitting here and waiting for the sun…

All I ever had
I put it on the table
As friends of mine once told me to:
Don’t hold back, when you’re young and able
They all live in big houses now
And eat off silver platters
And I’m about the only one
Who cares what really matters…

They say the game is over and the money’s all gone
And I'm sitting here and waiting for the sun
With all those promises broken and the rights all wrong
I'm sitting here and waiting for the sun

They tell you all your life
How it’s supposed to be
To make a million dollars
And get a job - like on TV
I never really bought it
It simply felt not right
I cashed in my insurances
And went looking for the light

I travelled through this world
Spent all my magic chips
I never hit the jackpot
But always gave the biggest tips
The last of my belongings
Took some street kids in Mumbai
I’d rather gave up everything
Than loosing my own way

Maybe the game is over and the life is gone
And I'm sitting here and waiting for the sun
With all those promises broken and the rights all wrong
I'm sitting here and waiting for the sun
But I'm not done
As long as there’s a light shining on me…
There’re better days to come
