Instant Win

I watch the dial stuck on one
Begging it to edge…begging it to roll
The lottery knocked at my locked door
So I let it in the window

My fortune raped me and left
I watched the dust settle where the luck once stood
The dial clicked to two
I celebrated and fell in love again
But my eyes dripped and cried
“Three…won’t you be my three…”

Been rejected five-hundred and five times
Please don’t make it a six
The score doesn’t add up
My dice, my hand, they’re always broken

One dial for my life, one dial for my dreams
I stare into the cards for hours
In the mirror I see a Queen
But you’ll only let me be the Joker

Oh those games you play
Of course I’ll always adore them

Still the only things that matter
Are as far from me
As your heart is from caving
But the dials moving to three

just thought i'd explain the dial thing because it confuses a lot of people. I have a friend I really like and we've done stuff together twice. So now I'm just waiting on number 3. There you are.
