Those lyrics are for a poker table gambler.
In the context of today's VP environment, I like these lyrics:
"...Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is..."

"...The lyrics of this existentialist song are written from the point of view of a person who is disillusioned with events in life that are supposedly unique experiences..."
