On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere

I met up with a gambler

We were both too tired to sleep

So we took turns a-starin' out the window at the darkness

所以我们轮流盯着窗外的黑暗

'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak

He said son I've made

他说孩子我成功了

A life out of readin' people's faces

我这一生都无法看透别人的脸

And knowin' what their cards

Were by the way they held their eyes

顺便说一句他们目不转睛地盯着我

So if you don't mind my sayin'

I can see you're out of aces

For a taste of your whiskey

I'll give you some advice

So I handed him my bottle

And he drank down my last swallow

Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light

And the night got deathly

Quiet and his face lost all expression

Said if you're gonna play the game boy
