KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD
"Beginner's Luck"
(Ambrose Kenny-Smith / Stu Mackenzie)

Join me at the table if you'd like to place a bet
All the cash that's filling your pockets is waiting to be spent
I know you've never played but drinks are free, it's so bizarre
Even if you lose a few chips, it's cheaper than the bar

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Beginner's luck is on your side
You've got dollar signs inside your eyes

[Chorus:]
The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up
If you get too stuck just bluff
The beginner's luck is tough

The king extends his head, he looks into my palm
I don't know if he wants to shake it or cut it from my arm
The dealer sits washing all the burned cards from the deck
I think he might be trying to clean them, but I'd have to double check

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Beginner's luck is on your side
You've got dollar signs inside your eyes

[Chorus:]
The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up
If you get too stuck just bluff
The beginner's luck is tough

All your money's scared and you're down to betting skins
But have you heard of a trick called spooking? It'll help you win
But tricks are just for children and cheating is a sin
And now you're down to the felt on the table and security's moving in

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Beginner's luck of course backfired
Caught red-handed by the eye in the sky

[Chorus:]
The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up
The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up
The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up
If you get too stuck just bluff
The beginner's luck is tough
The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up
The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up
The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up
If you get too stuck just bluff
The beginner's luck is tough

[Chorus:]
The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up
The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up
The beginner's luck, now don't mess it up
If you get too stuck just bluff
The beginner's luck is tough
