Holding hands with the King of Spades
As the sun float by in a yellow parade
He came, he saw, he rose into the flow.
Sun drop down and it turn to gray
All the shadows stretch and they reach away
To who? To why? To what? You’ll never know.
So you tell yourself it’s enough when baby
There are three men waiting to kill you
And if he isn’t tough enough to fill you
You gotta let him go.
Cause when night fall like a sheet of black
You’re going to need someone
You can’t waste your time on a man whose having fun.
King of Spades lying on his back
When you leave the room with his eyes on your back
He came, he saw, he rose into the flow.
Mirror resting against the wall
Till you throw your brush, watch it crumble and fall
To scream, to feel, to cry and to explode.
Then you tell yourself it’s enough when baby
There are three men waiting to end you
And if he isn’t tough enough to defend you
You gotta let him go.
Cause when night come and the stars appear
You’ll need a place to run.
You can’t waste your time on a man whose having fun.
King of Spades, purple robe, eyes at night, shine and glow
Spread the deck tell him everything you know.
Eyes that shine, circling, oh my God I can’t remember anything
Except I wanted you to come and carry me home.
So I tell myself it’s enough when baby
There are three men waiting to bleed me
And if you isn’t tough enough to need me
I gotta let you go.
Cause when night come and the chill appear
The game has just begun.
I can’t waste my time on a man whose having fun.
