Here she comes, lady luck again,
figure of eight, six and nine again.
Aaaah, aaaah, my lady with the spinning head.
Whatever the deal, she won't let me down,
Wherever I go, she's always hangin' around
Aaaah, aaaah, my lady with the spinning head.
chorus line: play twice

She's been gone, but I knew she'd be back
She's got the rent, she'll put me in the black
Aaaah, aaaah, my lady with the spinning head.
(chorus line)
I don't mind, took the weight back off
Those pretty dice, were rolling off.
I'm on top when she's around
She's been taking me out of town.
(main line)
(chorus line)
La la la la la la la la la la
Lady with the spinning head.

| The "lady with the spinning head" refers to the actual roulette wheel. When he speaks of "she's got the rent", it shows that he's not gambling for fun, he's gambling his money in order to pay for things and he thinks that its the "ticket out of town." ... he obviously isn't always successful though - "Mean old man took away my car those credit guys they've got the power" | |

| Look at this beauty! I have an overwhelming wish to sleep The sky-colored girl Possessed with laughter Now to make it worse Starting a song—singsong song “When I find my love, I shall torment him.” Everyone laughs How she comes with me to the night forest And once across a crowded trolley bus I saw her hand my ticket and my change And sighed And wouldn’t wait And has gone [paraphrased poetry] | |

| This song is on the Best of 1990-2000 B-sides CD. Absolutely no idea what it means. Cool dance track though, if you're into that kinda thing... | |
