Stranded in this town
 My machine slows down
 To take me where the night begins
 I'm playing everywhere
 Loving here and there
 I always take the chance to win
 Drove a million miles
 Gambling rules my life
 I only stop to start again

 I reach out through the air
 Good look is everywhere
 Can almost touch it with my hands

 Just a little luck tonight
 Will do and dreams come true
 Just a little luck tonight
 I can't stop the wheel
 That turns the ball of steel

 When passion rules the game
 I ain't got no control, when my heart's in flames

 I'm a stranger in this town
 Life takes me up and down
 I'll break the score until I'm free
 Can't stop to roll the dice
 And in the morning light
 A girl like you is all I need

 Don't you need some love tonight
 I do, yes I do
 Don't you need some love tonight
 How can we stand the heat
 When love is all we need

 When passion rules the game
 I ain't got no control, when my heart's in flames
