Píseň: Play the Ace

Interpret:

Album:
ReliXIV
Fair haired lady and the suicide king 
Kill the brother of the one eyed jack 
Two side of shady as the angels sing 
That the jack ain’t coming back 
Double down hide as the preacher folds 
And you sweat right out of your clothes 
Aces higher than the suicide king 
With a pair right under his nose 


Dead pan, poker face, where you lie 
The angels sing the same 
Hey man, choker taste where you die 
Carving out your given name 
Drive a spade right through your heart 
Or a chance just being alive 
Is it murder, right handed, art 
Is it real or all contrived 
God help you 


All bets are taken, this table is closed 
While outside they’re shaking him out of his clothes 
It’s a disgrace 


Get down on the dead 
They been taking over the graveyards 
You gotta play the ace 
Get down on your head 
It’s been overriding the good cards 
Gotta play the ace 


Green-eyed monster got the twinkle right 
Got the evil in his eye 
One sick as a dog looks a little tight 
He can’t breathe, he gonna die 
As you pound your fist in anger 
Words sharper than a blade 
But the green-eyed monster is a sure motherfucker 
As he plays I tout in spades 
God help him 


All bets are taken, this table is closed 
While outside they’re shaking him out of his clothes 
It’s a mistake 


Blame it on the dead 
They been taking over the graveyards 
Play the ace 
Blame it on your head 
It’s been overriding the good card 
Play the ace 


See it, raise it, call it, show 
In a sinner’s room of liars 
In the all time hell bound race 
And the devil, he’s on fire 
As the band played on the ace 
The ace 


See it, raise it, call it, show 
The dead sit lifeless in the chair they chose 
It’s a national disgrace 
The green-eyed monster got a real bad dose 
As the band played on the ace 
Play the ace 
Play the ace 
Play the ace 
Play the ace 
Play the ace
