52
Play your cards right you could just win
An ace of spades is your best bet
Don’t come around here if you know you can’t win
She’ll pick up the deck and play you again
She says all you want to do is just play games
Her life is a board and she plays the same way
Walk alone in that city at night, dark of night
Looking for the spot where you first saw her eyes
Like a grey shadow falling over the sky
She won’t be there, she’s in disguise
Take a moment
Breathe the mist of the day
Too dark outside and you can’t find your way
Down the road you traveled with her before
Go back
Go back
And she made that mistake of choosing you
She said I chased my dreams so they’d come true
It’s all over now
It’s all over now
Bring it back somehow
Bring it back somehow
You know you’ll be alone
She can’t find you now
And on this night she’ll change her mind
So you see her now
Out of the shadow somehow
Drive her home tonight
Tonight
And she made that mistake of choosing you
It’s strange how you change
You change direction
No longer grasping at her for her affection
Neglection
Too many times she saw you walk by
Too many times you saw her in the window
And she cried
Take out that deck of cards and play again
Tonight you play it right
You could maybe win
You got 52 cards you can only take one
She’s going to walk away
She doesn’t want to play
You drew the Ace of spades
Now she’s gone
She’s gone
