If you wanna deal out life then deal me in,
I've got a longing to begin something that never ends and I wanna hand in that.
Let us pass no compliments we both know how to play
If you wanna deal out life,then deal me in today.

The cards fall as they will,upside down,down up until they spill the spots and then,and only then,
will I see what's dealt to me and understand that I would be.
More to come said the angel with the gun who tried to rob the diamonds from the sky, so unlikely this and this is why I walked on by ,my hands full with the pull of fortune and a hand of hearts that came to soon.

If you want a hand within the game then you must leave your name at home,the one you never knew you'd never known and come on in,
let's begin by making rules,no rules are great but we must wait and see what the dealer says the rules will be,
pick a card up from the pack and you are stuck,no going back to what you didn't know you knew,
the Queen of clubs begins to cackle,what a pickle,what a stew and who the devil's deuce are you?
pay no heed.
no Queen's for you
What you need's a royal flush to wash away, you wanna play again? no pain involved.

And I waited by the astrodome,the metronome moved blindly,not unkindly I could see,
a new game being played securely set in hands of stone another woe begotten home I never knew and just because I never knew, I know now that it's all untrue,the deck was rigged,we didn't get a fair shake,they took from us because they could take and we didn't know and if we did,we put a lid down on the fact and opened up another pack of playing cards,
you wanna deal in this 'ere life? then get a knife,be ready too, to find out things you never knew.
