Instant Cash and Diamonds

I’m going down I go

Digging a gambling hole

My friend is drunk as hell

His fillings filled with gold

I cash my breakfast in

I throw my car keys down

I’m running out of state

Looking around I see it

Blinking on a neon sign outside my window, baby

Instant cash and diamonds

Here we go

I’m going down I am

My brains are full of bread

My friend is passed out cold

I left him in the red

I keep my devils warm

I keep my angels high

I keep my eyes on the bright horizon

And it’s blinking on a neon sign outside my window, baby

Instant cash and diamonds

Here we go

Goddamn I like my money cheap

Let me hear you say yeah if you're with me

My latest venture blowin' up into space

My dreams are climbing the steeple of a steeple chase

The cards I’m holding can’t help but fall in place

I pawn my children’s toys

I couldn’t stand the noise

The batteries were dead

I didn’t have a choice

I keep my omens good

I keep my ears to the wall

My hotel window always faces the strip

And there it’s blinking on a neon sign

Instant cash and diamonds

Here we go
