[Verse 1]
Black jack roulette
Losing high and low
She rolls the dice, she's cold as ice
Turn a young man old
Comedy and tragedy
Entertainment or death
Like sister morphine
Hooked on her game
Time to place your bets

[Pre-Chorus]
If it wasn't for bad luck
I'd have no luck at all

[Chorus]
Keep your eye on the money
Keep your eye on the dealer's hand
Keep your eye on the money
Keep your eye on the lady's hand

[Verse 2]
Queen of hearts
Or ace of spades
I'm dancing on the blade
Freak show, going broke
The crowd screams on for more
Electric shock won't bring ya back
You've gone over the boards
Can't beat the clock the deck is stacked
The crowd looks on in horror

[Pre-Chorus]
If it wasn't for bad luck
I'd have no luck at all

[Chorus]
Keep your eye on the money
Keep your eye on the dealer's hand
Keep your eye on the money
Keep your eye on the lady's hand

Mötley Crüe is the symbol of the 1980s rock n roll attitude. Formed in Los Angeles, California on January 17, 1981, the group was founded by bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee, later joined by Mick Mars on the guitar and Vince Neil on the microphone.

Mötley Crüe has revolutionized the rock scene multiple times and officially introduced the idea of the rock show with fireworks, barely dressed girls and flamethrowers. They sold more than 100 million records worldwide.
