Lonely Mister Ace of Spades, don’t deny it
You have tried so hard to fail
You know you’ve tried it


Perhaps you should have taken a different color
What with a heart that’s black
Now you just want to hide it


But no one told you where you were headed
No one cared to ask what you wanted
So now you just helplessly fight it


They set the rules without your knowing
Spread the deck on the table glowing
And among cheer and laughter sliced it


You wish every time so hard you wouldn’t win
Your hand so evil the game it always wouldn’t spin
But you just fail every time you try it


In this deck of falling cards, where nothing remains
You wish a hand to hold you had, but it pains
And every night you just mop and cry it


You dream the Red Queen, her smile on you would clean
It never will work, there is a King
It’s just a dream no matter how you apply it


Think about it lonely Mister Ace of Spades, think about it
When winning is not the prize itself
Just an excuse to pack cards and hide it


Perhaps you should tell yourself that it’s just a game
No one ever won a hand, it’s just all the same
But it won’t work because you’ll never find it


Lonely Mister Ace of Spades, don’t deny it
You have tried so hard to fail
You know you’ve tried it


Perhaps you should have taken a different color
What with a heart that’s black
Now you just want to hide it
