[00:17.32]Rows of lights in a circle of steel
[00:21.22]Where you place your bets on a great big wheel
[00:26.24]High windows flickerin' down through the snow
[00:31.45]A time you know
[00:33.84]Sights and sounds of the people goin' 'round
[00:37.59]Everybody's in step with the season
[00:43.56]A child is born to a welfare case
[00:47.81]Where the rats run around like they own the place
[00:53.12]The room is chilly the building is old
[00:57.96]That's how it goes
[01:00.04]The doctor's found on his welfare round
[01:04.06]And he comes and he leaves on the double
[01:10.47]Deck the halls was the song they played
[01:14.18]In the flat next door where they shout all day
[01:19.17]She tips her gin bottle back till it's gone
[01:24.40]The child is strong
[01:26.48]A week a day they will take it away
[01:30.29]For they know about all her bad habits
[01:43.08]Christmas dawns and the snow let's up
[01:46.77]And the sun hits the handle of her heirloom cup
[01:51.74]She hides her face in her hands for a while
[01:57.07]Says look here child
[01:59.21]Your father's pride was his means to provide
[02:03.24]And he's servin' three years for that reason
[02:09.53]Rows of lights in a circle of steel
[02:13.26]Where you place your bets on a great big wheel
[02:18.31]High windows flickerin' down through the snow
[02:23.48]A time you know
[02:25.91]Sights and sounds of the people goin' 'round
[02:29.44]Everybody's in step with the season
