[Verse 1]

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 he sweats right out of his clothes

Aces higher than the suicide king

With a pair right under his nose

[Verse 2]

Deadpan poker face where you lie

Now 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? Hatred? Art?

Is it real? Is it all contrived?

God help you

[Pre-Chorus 1]

All bets are taken

This table is closed

While, outside, they're shakin'

Him out of his clothes

[Pre-Chorus 2]

It's a disgrace

[Chorus]

Get down on the dead

They've been takin' over the graveyards

You gotta play the ace

Get down on your head

It's been overriding the good cards

Gotta play the ace

[Verse 3]

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 it out in spades

God help him

[Pre-Chorus 1]

All bets are taken

This table is closed

While, outside, they're shakin'

Him out of his clothes

[Pre-Chorus 2]

It's a mistake

[Chorus]

Blame it on the dead

They've been takin' over the graveyards

Play the ace

Blame it on your head

It's been overriding the good card

Play the ace

[Bridge 1]

See it, raise it, call it, show

In a sinner's room of liars

In the all-time, hell-bound race

With the devil, he's on fire

As the band played on the ace

Play the ace

[Bridge 2]

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 plays on the ace

Play the ace

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

Play the ace

Play the ace

Play the ace

Play the ace

Play the ace

Play the ace
