Old Card Players Never Die, They Just Shuffle Away

Isn’t it amazing
How the rain running down the windowpane
Can make you feel just that little bit insane?

Isn’t it entrancing
How the lightning that breaks through the clouds
Can illuminate the shadows that cluster in crowds.

Isn’t it intriguing
How the ace can rule the Jack?
The King must feel so helpless
And the Queen should watch her back.

Burn the cards life throws at you
Forget each roll of the dice
Lose yourself in simplistic memories
Or gamble them all and pay the price.
Watch the dealers tricking fingers
Take the ace and hide the Jack
Roll perilous snake eyes
And slyly reshuffle the pack.
Take your life back
Whoa oh
Take your life back!

Isn’t it fantastic
How peoples demons often rule their heads
And make them live a life meant for the dead.

Isn’t it fascinating
How life is just so f***ing depressing?
We’re all just waiting for that angels blessing.

Isn’t it intriguing
How the ace can rule the Jack?
The King must feel so helpless
And the Queen should watch her back.

Burn the cards life throws at you
Forget each roll of the dice
Lose yourself in simplistic memories
Or gamble them all and pay the price.
Watch the dealers tricking fingers
Take the ace and hide the Jack
Roll perilous snake eyes
And slyly reshuffle the pack.
Take your life back
Whoa oh
Take your life back!

Isn’t it stupid
How we wait where we are
And never make a move!?
Isn’t it silly
How we watch the world fly by
And never try to improve?!

Isn’t it intriguing
How the ace can rule the Jack?
The King must feel so helpless
And the Queen should watch her back.
