Serious [2:45] - From the Inside, 1978
	When I look back at my time at the track
	And I played and I played and I played and I was
	Shooting the craps at the back of Fat Jack's
	Come on fade me Jake
	I'm a Las Vegas dreamer they took to the cleaners
	A bath what a bath what a bath I'd take
	A fish on a hook I was rattled and shook 'cause I lost my stake
	I took that serious

	All of my life was a laugh and a joke
	And a drink and a smoke
	And then I passed out on the floor
	Again and again and again and again and again

	I'm a gambling fool with a roll and a cue
	Wanna play wanna play wanna play with me
	Put my ass on the line rubbed my nose in the grime
	And they picked me clean
	The chance and the game drove Old Silkly insane
	What a pain what a strain on my brain it was
	A fish on a hook I was rattled and shook 'cause I lost my stake
	I took that serious

	All of my life was a laugh and a joke
	A drink and a smoke
	And then I passed out on the floor
	Again and again and again and again and again

	Serious it was serious oh so serious
	Serious it was serious oh so serious

	All of my life was a laugh and a joke
	A drink and a smoke
	And then I passed out on the floor
	Or a friend
	Again and again and again and again and again

	All of my life was a laugh and a joke
	A drink and a smoke
	And then I passed out on the floor
	Or a friend

	Again and again and again and again and again and again
	And again and again and again and again and again
	And again and again
