Jackpot Plus!

Sweet Dempsey waiting on a number,
 Cups his sweating hand around dice and blows,
 Breathes his reeking trust on tumbling bones,
 In love with the air around a hundred thousand bad throws.
 All nerve and no brain,
 All nerve, no brain;
 It's jackpot plus in which he trusts. Someday I--
 Someday I--
 Sweet baby sucking on a number,
 Sweet Dempsey gladly trips switch after switch.
 He can feel himself drain out through his fingertips.
 Uneasy union;
 The conception of a near miss.
 All nerve and no brain,
 All nerve, no brain,
 It's jackpot plus in which he trusts.
 Someday I--
 Someday I--
 Keep dropping it in cool on the machine,
 Keep dropping it in,
 Dropping it in,
 Dropping it in,
 Someday I--
 Someday I--
 Someday I--
