Immersed in a game I can't win. © J. Patrick Sharpe Lyrics and Music by J. Patrick Sharpe

My second wife/ She left me for good Now she lives in a mansion/ In a new neighborhood I took to the bottle/ I get drunk every night I wake up in the morning/ With my head in a vice (Ch) Peeling myself off the ceiling Immersed in a game I can’t win Nothing is worse than the feeling Of losing again Spend my nights at the bar/ It’s a terrible scene My lines are all rusty/ And the girls are all mean It’s a chain of rejection/ It’s a pain all my own I can’t get no affection/ I fall asleep all alone (Ch) Peeling myself off the ceiling Immersed in a game I can’t win Nothing is worse than the feeling Of losing again (Br) Face down in the gutter Once again left for dead With visions of redemption Crashing down on my head I played the lotto last weekend/ Not one number right I got bingo on Thursdays/ And it’s blackjack tonight I got a hole in my pocket/ Only blues left to sing A hundred dollars’ worth of scratch-offs/ I didn’t win a damn thing (Ch) Peeling myself off the ceiling Cursed by these games I can’t win Nothing is worse than the feeling Of losing again x
