Cards of Life |
LyricsCARDS OF LIFEShe took out her coincidence and lay it facing up I showed her some small sense of grief I've weaned off like a pup She countered with some irony and caught me by surprise But when I showed her déjà vue she knew she couldn't hide I told her that it's what I love that defines me the most No matter if it's not returned it's still what I will boast She shows me just a tiny piece of who she is inside Then lays it next to sympathy and spreads her hand out wide CHORUS THE DECK IS STACKED IT WILL NOT LAST ITS TWO PAIR IN YOUR FACE THE GAME OF LIFE CAN TAKE A BREAK AND SHUFFLE HUMAN GRACE THE ACE OF SPADES AND QUEEN OF HEARTS MAY GET US THROUGH THE NIGHT BUT MORNING COMES AND BECKONS US TO FACE THE OTHER CARDS OF LIFE I bluffed with potent arrogance whipped out my resume Then raised with some benevolence she couldn't take away The die is cast the deck shuffled we register our bets This time with loss of innocence she leads right from her vest Although I fear she's not real clear and hides cards up her sleeve It's not my place to lose this race or prove what I believe I draw three more as I ignore her stunning lack of grace For now my life affords some joy to keep me in my place REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE I work my way within this life No wild cards in my hand With Joker's sense of comedy I play the best I can REPEAT CHORUS |
