lyrics
What’s a night?
It isn’t much to see
Are you surprised
It don’t bother me?
My hand is shit
But I have much to gain
By not folding it
And if you want to
I could give you one more game
I won’t play the same
And if you want to
I could play you once again
But you’ll never win
What’s a life?
It isn’t much to lose
Are you surprised
You don’t get to choose
How much you bet
Or when you show your hand?
That’s how we play in here
There’s no rule in the guide
That’ll let you go free
But if you want to
I could let you win this round
But I won’t go down
And if you want to
I could read you what’s in the guide
Just sit by my side
And if you want to
I would love to give you more
Then a simple chore
And if you want to
I would love you even more
Then I did before
What’s a love?
It isn’t much to keep
In your heart
But it isn’t cheap
You lose the pot
If you don’t play the game
So don’t give up
It’s not the same
It isn’t much to see
Are you surprised
It don’t bother me?
My hand is shit
But I have much to gain
By not folding it
And if you want to
I could give you one more game
I won’t play the same
And if you want to
I could play you once again
But you’ll never win
What’s a life?
It isn’t much to lose
Are you surprised
You don’t get to choose
How much you bet
Or when you show your hand?
That’s how we play in here
There’s no rule in the guide
That’ll let you go free
But if you want to
I could let you win this round
But I won’t go down
And if you want to
I could read you what’s in the guide
Just sit by my side
And if you want to
I would love to give you more
Then a simple chore
And if you want to
I would love you even more
Then I did before
What’s a love?
It isn’t much to keep
In your heart
But it isn’t cheap
You lose the pot
If you don’t play the game
So don’t give up
It’s not the same

With Darkness In My Eyes
by The Heavy HorsesYeah I made the album art, but also it is very very well done album, production is pure opulence. Justin Mahoney is a true gent.
