I'm stuck here between hope and frustration
  Keep getting thrown from side to side
  It's an familiar situation
  I'm on life's own rollercoasterride
    See the light at the end of the tunnel
  Big relief, got it all in sight
  But things can change within a second
  And broad daylight turn to the darkest night
    It's just the same old story
  I've had enough of trouble
  But I keep getting more
  A cold wind blows
  Well I know just how it goes
  I've seen it about a million times before
    Put another coin in the onearmed bandit
  Buy a ticket from the state lottery
  Put another coin in the jukebox
  Lady Luck come dance with me
