The Tumbleweeds Hate Tumbling

May 23, 2006 21:30

The player piano ends it reel,
And the barmaids want nothing to do with this crowd.
So down your whiskey
And pick up the cards.
The devil's in this land
And he just dealt your hand.

The devil's in town and you better watch out.
His eyes burn with the lust of death.
Those sights are set on you,
And his card game is set at the table.
Pick up a hand and play this game.

You never know when you just might win.

Nothings as dangerous as poker
When your life's on the line.
Your buddy, he gives you the sign.
The devil's got a full flush
And left you with a pair.

The ladies around, they all hush.
That barman's frozen with fear
With glass all around his feet.
You stand there. Revolver at the devil's head.
But who's gonna care when you're already dead?

The devil's in town and you better watch out.
His eyes burn with the lust of death.
Those sights are set on you,
And his card game is set at the table.
Pick up a hand and play this game.

You never know when you just might win.
