The Ace of Spades
Queen of Hearts
Deuce of Diamonds
It's just the start

Can't turn the corner
Can't double down
Out of money
No bank around

I need that card
Need it like a drug
But odds are against me
It doesn't look good

I outran them all
But they got me again
Tried to talk my way out
But I tried in vain

No way to get out
Stuck in this spot
Left me with cards
Said play until I rot

The Ace of Spades
Queen of Hearts
I played my cards wrong
And they tore me apart
